I don't feel like typing Saturdays: Are you going to invite me?

Cute ... hope you did not feed him though?

Aw, what a cutie.  He looks like he's waiting so patiently.  Were you cooking a big steak? hehe

Thanks for sharing...I don't feel like typing today either but I always like looking at the pictures.

Todd,

These little critters don't need a formal invite - they'll show up all by themselves if there's food involved. :)

Todd, I've never seen one - even in a zoo.  Very nice photo.

Thanks for sharing your picture with us today. Darn varments. Cute

We "adopted" a couple of racoons when I lived in a flat in San Francisco.  We were on the 3d floor and would leave spaghetti for this cute couple.  After a while there were 2 little ones... the whole family would arrive, with the little ones ridiing on mom's back.  They another family found us!  We had to put up a barrier finally, it was getting to be a bit much and the families starting fighting.  It was fun while it lasted though.

Funny that Joan mentioned spaghetti. We used to go to a place called Cook Forest in PA for vacation and there were always lots of raccoons and we would feed them spaghetti and the little ones would eat them one at a time. Great picture.

Hi Todd ....Great Photo Opportunity, does he have a name yet? These guys have a regular trap line here and teach their young where the best garbage cans are.

Cheers, thanks for sharing this little guy:O))

What a Nice picture!

Todd --- How in the world did you get that photo before the raccoon ran away?  This is an amazing shot.

Todd, Great picture...love those eyes!!!

He is such a cutie!  So what did you have that looked so inviting to him?

Todd: Awesome photo! When I had my home in Newcastle, we lived along a ravine on May Valley... We had all kinds of critters coming through our property... especially racoons. They use to gang up on the dog, play tag team and run diversions to get her dog food!... Enjoy the weekend.

"Who was that masked varmint anyway?"  Sounds like an old Western tv show.  Fun shot, Todd.

He promises not to eat much and will do small chores for food.

Todd, you clearly have something down there that he wants and willing to completely ignore you to at least think about how to get it.

Todd, the minute you turn your back, he will invite himself.

Todd - We had a family of raccoons living in a tree just outside our (me and my sisters) bedroom. There were three of them! The mother, and two babies. We would shine a flashlight and it would scare us silly every time we saw those bandit eyes. I'm having nightmares tonight, thanks!
