Our newest neighbor

Rocky here is HUGE! We saw him last weekend when we arrived home late after the festival. This morning Phil found that he had broken into the sunflower seeds. He waddles he's so huge. I said he was at least 45lbs..... Phil says over 50. Did I mention he's HUGE!!!


Here he is for perspective how high he waddled up the tree.

He slept in this tree all day. Changing positions on occasion.

Look at those feet and hands...LOL Sooooooooo CUTE!!





I didnt realize he was watching me while I was taking his picture. What a face huh? Look at those feet....LOL!! Did I mention he's HUGE!!!!!?



Yes he's cute, yes he's huge. No I dont consider him a pet. Wild racoons are dangerous. Wild animals should never be considered pets. But i'll enjoy him while he's with us :-)

    You're right, he is HUGE. :) Probably out at night stealing other people's sunflower seeds, too. They are cute, tho', aren't they?

    Once, while out in Calif. our kids fed raccoons fig newtons!! They loved doing that, but I was a bit frightened by the whole idea. We were assured that the raccoons come up and eat on the patio all the time. But I think you're right about the whole "wild animal" thing. I'm just glad nothing happened to our kids. Meanwhile, they now have a wonderful story to tell.
