Raccoons are high entertainment. I know from your stories, and guess what?! There is a resident rampaging rascally raccoon in the neighborhood to which I moved. She is a big mama... I saw her once... maybe 15-20 pounds. She dunked one of my towels in the pool twice and finally got the clog shoe that she coveted, ripped out the insole, and sent it to a watery death...:o) She has a lot of fun in our back yard, and even though I am usually a light sleeper, I can never catch her at it. Haha. The neighbors say she has at least one baby, seen about 2-1/2 months ago. She will probably teach them these tricks too.
They are clever..and destructive..I love to watch them, though.
My favorite came last night..first visit in a while.
