Rocky Raccoon says It's Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Cold Outside

 

Rocky Raccoon says It's Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Cold Outside

A couple of days ago we were having a severe rainstorm and extreme chill. My friend has a raccoon that she has nicknamed "Rocky'. He frequents her backyard to eat the cat food but Friday night it wanted to come in from the cold and rain.

 

Luckily, she had the cat door locked as this raccoon has been inside before and I am sure it wanted to find a nice warm house and some delicious cat food. This raccoon doesn’t seem to bother the two cats and she tells me she has made friends with him but is aware they can be mean.

Not a good idea to let the Raccoon in the house.  They often carry rabies and as cute as they look they are destructive.

Hi Hannah, I agree with you totally but my friend lives a few blocks away and she says the raccoons and skunks come through the cat door all the time to visit and eat cat food and then they leave. It would scare me! One of my neighbors told me a skunk got into their home and her husband shot it dead with a BB Gun. She said her house stunk for over a month.

Hi Kerrie,

I agree with you and my three little yapping  dogs ( 2chihuahua's and 1 terrier) would bark and chase it out. The terrier took on a skunk in the backyard a few weeks ago so I had to beg her in so she wouldn't get sprayed. It was a close one. I have heard raccoons are mean as another friend used to live in the mountains and this raccoon was always breaking into their home with his claws. Yikes!

But I sure like Rocky's green eyes.

Hi Cindy,

I totally agree with you but it must have been heartbreaking in the pouring rainstorm to see him at the door begging to come in. I am sure a nature lover........

That poor raccoon! I know they live outside in all types of weather but I can't help feeling worried and sorry for them.

Hi Sussie,

I am in total agreement. I am sure he was wet and cold and his home was probably filled with water as it was raining really hard. I love all animals and feel bad for them out in the rain.

I have a steady stream of birds and squirrels but no raccoons have come yet to scarf up leftover dog food.

Hi Cheryl,

It is just a matter of time before they come by for some dog food. I have been working on camera roll on my ipad but it will take some practice and I think I need Blogsy too. Have to be ready for my next cruise.

Kristin Rocky looks cute but as stated these animals can be mean.  I always keep a safe distance for animals.  Love to see them but prefer a barrier between us :)

Hi Jennifer,

I totally agree but the poor little raccoon looked so desperate in the pouring rain.

Definitely want to keep them out. I can't imagine having raccoons and skunks coming inside to eat pet food. Way to many things could go wrong.........

Hi Than,

Totally agree as people think they are sweet as they look so cute. I know raccoons can be mean and they have big claws
