Suburban wildlife

[ftmichael]

A raccoon lives under my deck. This is not a good thing, but the silver lining is that I get to see her babies. This is the second year that I've got to see her out with her babies. Last year there were four; this year there are five!

We do need to have them removed because they're damaging the house - if they were just on the property I wouldn't care, but having them in the house is not okay. But as long as they're here - and last night I got to see the babies for the first time this year, all five happy little scampery raccoon babies - I'm going to take pictures!







Nathaniel suggests that one of them has dropped a contact lens.

Nathaniel suggests this caption: 'Lefty: you distract him by looking cute, and I'll steal his keys.'



Nathaniel suggests this caption: 'Okay, which smartarse moved the ladder?'



Nathaniel suggests the following captions for this one:
* 'Actually, maybe head first was not such a good idea ...'
* 'You know, they charge a fortune for exercise like this down at the gym, but I said, Larry, I said, I can do that kind of thing for free hanging over the railing on the deck ...'
* 'I changed my mind! The ground is a hell of a lot further away than I thought it was!'
