Actually, girls, those little critters are not raccoons; they are Asiatic Raccoons or better known as Raccoon Dogs. Here is a little information on them:

I just LOVE learning new stuff. I thought that picture was so cute, so I read a little further.......and so it goes.

I knew they had a lot more hair than the raccoon but it seems they are not even closely related to the raccoon. They are beautiful though, cute as can be. Something new to entertain us.
