More Raccoon fun

[tenaya]

I just have to tell what I saw tonight. I lobbed an egg out to this raccoon. She must of thought I looked
suspicious because she gathered up the egg and moved off the stoop to eat it. The trouble was that
the egg cracked in such a way that it looked whole, but the yoke slipped out and was left on the stoop.
She moved a few feet away and began to gnaw on the end of the egg. She took a bigger bite of shell,
looked puzzled, then reached deep into the egg with her cute little hand. Not feeling that yummie goodness, she turned the shell up like a cup so she could look inside and I swear her expression was, "What the hell
is this?! Where's my yoke!!"

She did find it a minute later, though. And there was plenty of peanut shucking fun, too. I keep meaning
to toss some boiled eggs out to them to see what they would do.

Must be wonderful having racoons living nearby. This morning my garden was visited by a squabbling magpie and crow - not at all the same cheerful experience!

Just too adorable! If you can, it'd be neat if you could bring some coon pix to a bash some time. I'd love to see them. I'll be at Lily's but I probably won't get there until 3 or after as I'm working :-(

I like crows, too. There pretty funny at times. Loud though.

The raccoons are like mischievious little 5 years running amok. They can be a little destructive, but from there pov, they're just having fun. Plants can be replaced so we don't fret too much, besides, the raccoons are so entertaining, it's worth the cost of a few unlucky plants. The hard part is seeing them hurt or sick and not being able to help them. We started giving them eggs because of the nutrients and they're good for their immune systems.

I'll try to remember. I haven't connected the printer and all my photos are digital. I need to put them on the laptop and bring them. If not this time, next time for sure.
