This morning I went out on my front porch and there was a racoon. I usually feed the squirrels so I left the racoon some food too. He didn't eat much, but now...
Hi, And coongratulations on your new friend! If this youngster is trying to come in whenever you open the door it sure sounds to me like either someone's pet...
Hello and welcome... ... I think you might call the Raccoon "she". It sounds like you might have a young mother who is hungry. In any case, if it's safe with...
I thank you all for your advice. My new friend is no longer - I am extremely sad and heartbroken. A neighbor called animal control and they came and put my...
I'm sorry to hear about your new "neighbor". And your human neighbor. It sounds like the neighbors and animal control took matters into their own hands without...
Group-- Time to unsub for serious. I can't take any more human stupidity. The "animal control humane thing" written about this morning put me over the limit. I...
omigosh how heartbreaking - yes a seizure can certainly be a sign of distemper - however if this little being was feeling well enough to try to come inside I...
Arlene-- I'm glad your e-mail came through before my unsub. There was probably more I could have said, but it wouldn't have touched the ignorant neighbors or...
Okay you guys, now I'm really mad! All I wanted was for this racoon to be safe and happy and now she could have been killed because someone was an idiot. So,...
OK... ... It depends on how old they are, and how good a den the mother built. The fact that she had torn hair out suggests that at least the den was as warm...
Thanks for all your information. I'll get up early tomorrow and start my search. It might be like the proverbial 'needle in a hay stack' but if they are there...
... DL I'm at a loss to express how fervently I hope you never do - you express, as no one else can, what all of us feel and your posts are the grounding force...
Arlene-- Thank you... ... What is strange is that I almost never feel that I am surviving the complete lunacy we are locked in. Most of the time I feel as...
DL, I fervently agree with Arlene. Please stay with us. You are a ray of light. Love, Sheila ... From: Arlene To: raccoonwatchers@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Sheila-- Thank you. It's not like me to run away from things... I was pushed into a wall thinking about that cruel neighbor. During my life with Bob, we lost...
DL, The sadness can get overwhelming at times, when we consider what people are capable of doing to themselves and the creatures and world they inhabit. But...
Sheila-- ... Thank you for the update. It couldn't have come at a better time... ... Yes, it brings a grin to my face too. For reasons I understand all too ...
As soon as they arrive, DL, I will post them. Because this gal is busy with all of her dogs, it might not be as soon as we both would like. Sheila ... From:...
... this is the (only) beauty of midwest homes - they all have dungeons which the locals refer to as basements - my exercise equipment is appropriately housed...
Hi all, I am Rebekah and I've just joined this group. For the second consecutive night I missed our raccoon out on the patio. My man came in here and told me ...
Rebekah-- Welcome! We have members in Canada... where are you? ... I hope you get a closer sighting soon. Depending on where you are, mothers are feeding kits,...
DL, Hi and thanks for the welcome! I'm in Quebec. We live in a small town, but our house is rather secluded...forest around and a river. I don't think they are...
Hello! I am in Ontario, near Lake Simcoe, and have been enjoying feeding the raccoons since we moved here from Vancouver 5 years ago. We have between 8 - 20 by...
Hello Jacqueline, Scary story about the peanut butter jar...surely something to think about! Speaking about videos; last night I watched an extremely funny ...
I just saw the Wendy's commercial -- oops, coonmercial -- for the first time last night. Is it just me, or does the driver look suspiciously like Ray(HaR)? And...
Andrew-- ... Yup. It's our very own Ray(HaR). Since he got his own coonputer and Americoon Express card, he's been... well... to put it delicately, out of...
DL, I've seen the coonmercial with the fairy hitting a car with a stick, and a coon... it says «nature can be hard on your car...» but the thing is *I don't...
Rebekah-- ... That's the one. Now that I squeeze my tiny brain cell, I think the product is some kind of car protection product... a wax or something. That...
