OT, but cute: raccoon family

I use the local wildlife as garbage disposers - their game trail to the
pond runs between my house and workshop so I'm not attracting them by
throwing out food: they come that way by themselves. I also use them to
dispose of leftover kibble. Tonight, there was quite a bit, but no garbage
except a bit of watermelon rind. Raccie and her four coonlets got a feast
anyway when I threw out the kibble (Raccie isn't afraid of me and knows I
am a food supplier, but I don't try to approach or disturb them - but I
just had to go to the open door and take the picture).

Can't get there from that link.

Also trying to remember, baby raccoons are called kittens aren't they?

I don't see how thay survive the heat with all that hot fur, but they
don't even wait for the cool of the evening befoe coming out - these are
often here about sundown while it's still horribly hot.

Suspicious of a numeric address, I first tried to
ping 67.54.246.139 ,it was recognized, but no response.
so 67.54.246.139 must be down.
Now re-trying one day later, still no reponse.

Oh, they are so cute! And almost round. Their mama is taking good
care of them.

I love racoons. They look like little teenaged hoodlums running around
in the yard at night.
Unfortunately, I had to quit throwing garbage over the fence like I
used to. We not only had
too many racoons, we had a bad influx of these giant field rats.

Gorgeous!! Even though I know that they can be dangerous to my cats
(and possibly to me, if they felt threatened or very annoyed by me), I
still think raccoons are adorable. And they make the cutest sounds, too,
I love that chittering noise.

Jo,

When someone posts an incomplete link (such as "www.somplace.com") I
hit the "reply" button and then edit the text to put an "http://" in front
of it. Then it becomes a live link.

And then, if I feel like it (as in this situation with Ted's raccoon
pictures), I'm all set to post a reply. (If I don't need to post a reply,
I can just delete the reply message.)
