Cottage Visitors

Last week we had four little visitors knock at our door.  When we went out to see them, they were all cuddled in behind our BBQ and cheeping like babies.  They are very cute and remind me of Lucy when she was a puppy.   Right now these cuties are small enough to hold in the palms of your hands.  After wandering aimlessly around the patio for a while and biting my toes they waddled back up the yard to the road and across to our neighbours house.

When walking these monkeys (I mean Racoons) get up high on their legs so they appear a lot larger in the picture than they really are.  Again like dogs, their legs and feet are disproportionately larger than their bodies at this age.

We found them again in the front yard last night looking for food, so will have to keep an eye on them as they will probably become a problem as the summer progresses.  Still no sign of their Mom so it looks like she might have encounter the local bear defending her babies.   And yes we have bears here so I have been keeping Lucy on a short leash and don’t let her out of my sight when she is off leash.
