Awwww... he is still little!!! I find raccoons pull at my heart strings more than most animals.. they are incredibly smart... which inturn, makes them incredibly annoying. They are also dedicated and will see no reason to stop pilfering your place. The ones I have rehabilitated are very curious and interactive creatures. Also, loyal.. It makes the babies hard to rehabilitate because they seem to get attached as easy as I do.. all of these traits often do not endear them to people. In the wild, they are some of the most cunning and beautiful mammals to observe.. Thanks for sharing!! I’m sure you know, but be mindful of your other pets... I have a few that like to steal the cat food and I have let my dog out to pee (the Yorke) not realizing they were near. Scary situation!
In Florida, the rabies incidence in wild raccoons poses a potential (and sometimes realized) public health issue. Foxes, too.

Good afternoon everyone!

The internet is rubbish up here in Buxton... soooo slooooooooooooooow :(

It’s tipping down with rain, but we have been for a pub lunch. Excellent roast lamb, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, beans, broccoli and gravy :) And I may have had treacle tart and ice cream for dessert :)

I woke to another text from John which started Good Mornooning. It’s so good to hear him sounding like normal :) Let’s hope he can get back online soon.



So consider John’s wibbles passed on :) I have also done a phone number exchange between John and Adam so hopefully they’ll be back in touch shortly.

@ZEROPILOT Ed if you message me your cellphone number I will do the same for you :)

Enjoy the rest of your day. We get back to our lovely fast broadband tomorrow evening :) x
It's really good to read that text from John! I am so pleased he seems well and has been in touch. Hopefully he'll be back with us soon.

Your lunch sounds lovely and has made me very hungry indeed!! Especially as my sister in law just text to say they had a beautiful roast lunch today for her birthday too.! It's torture!!!

Have a safe journey home tomorrow!

Happy Sunday all.

Not the best picture, in fact, pretty bad. But i was able to capture a pix of our masked midnight marauder. In reality, there were two little marauders helping themselves to a sunflower seed snack.

This one here (pix) sat in the flower pot where i have seed for a good 30 minutes stopping and resting and sitting and standing. All very cute. His buddy ran off.

They're cute until they start doing stuff you don't want them to, and then they're a nuisance.

You will be in perfect form for Easter - Assistant to Peter Rabbit
The way I am now able to swivel chairs around on one leg while kneeling on them to change direction in my kitchen, I'll be in perfect form to join a troupe of circus acrobats too!

Thank you so much for helping my family. You are an angel <3 hugs
Hi and welcome to the CDR!
It must be quite a wrench for you to part with your sully but Littlebit is in good hands, and it's great you'll be able to keep in touch and see how he's getting on.
Hope to see you here again soon.

That was a Baaaad pun!
I have to go to hospital next Friday for an xray. I will have been hopping around for 6 weeks by then so I am hoping they will let me have an orthopedic boot and start to weight bear which will make life a lot easier.
BUT when I left the hospital the physio told me I would be non weight bearing for 6 - 10 weeks,so I could have a bit longer in plaster yet.
No idea when I'll be able to drive again - even with a boot I won't be able to do that.
Will know more next week.

It's gone 6 pm here now and we have had a very windy afternoon with gusts of over 50 mph expected for the next couple of hours.
I only hope nothing gets blown down or damaged on/in my house and garden because I can't do a thing about it!
At least the rain's stopped though.
Hope you are having a calmer day in your corners!

Well, so far they are in their “cute” phase :). Like two funny little koala bears tumbling around on our back deck with their hands in the honey jar. We bought a few cans of very cheap cat food to see if we can capture snack time up close on my time lapse camera.
