A few weeks ago one night we heard Joni making a terrible racket, barking. When Steven went out to investigate he found that she had discovered these babies who were huddled by the door to his workshop. Once Joni was safely in the house we both went outside with our cameras to see if they were still there. Then we took turns holding the flashlight while the other took photos of the cute little things. Then we went to bed hoping that the mother would have come to rescue them by the morning.
The next day I saw the two of them wandering around, but after that they were nowhere to be seen, so I assume that they went off somewhere where they weren’t likely to run into an excited border collie. This is the one I took of them. (Steven posted his photo at the time. You can see his here )
Enjoy your weekend everyone!

You guys most have pleased the raccoon gods 🙂
Thanks so much for your visit and comment +Michael A Koontz​! We saw three more up a tree last night with such cute faces peering down at us.
Racoons are without a doubt one of natures cutest animals. Wonderful story too.

I'm glad if you enjoyed it, +Ursula Klepper and it made you smile. They are really super cute!
Little sweet ones! I had to smile to your story!
It is hoped that they had found his family. Thank you.
They might not have been lost, just scared because of the dog barking, +Jennifer Koenig – I hope so!
They are, for sure, but I think they might have found their mother in the next day or so as they are not around (and were not killed on the road, at least!) +Misha Misha
And at the same time sad…
Oh, how lovely. They are so funny. Thank you for the joy and pleasure.
Nothing worse than lost Babies….
I think they went off into the woods, +Dsisha Crenshaw – maybe their mother called them.
Did you find there homes yet
+Stephen Thackeray thanks! It was special, that's for sure.
Thanks +Joyce Fay​
Cute!
So cute! What I'd give for visitors like that :-))
That does ring a bell, now that you mention it, +Alex Lapidus – especially the bit about the trail mix and not eating the raisins!
They came into the kitchen a couple of times from a former owner's dog door that we had to seal off, then one came right into the living room through a broken back screen door, and ate a bunch of the snacks Linda was setting up for a golf tournament. He ate the nuts and M&Ms out of the trail mix and left the raisins.
🙂
+Nataly Rubeo I think that they must have as they were gone after a couple of days of wandering around in the trees.
+Alex Lapidus – wonderful! Did I know that you had some wandering around in the house? I have heard of them appearing down chimneys in this part of the world. Which would be disconcerting for all concerned.
Thanks very much +Betty Manousos
+Methodius Rodionovich thanks!!
Thank you Sumit! +Sumit Sen

So cute! We haven't seen ours much lately (at least not in the house since we replaced the screens).
They are absolutely cute, dear Ellie!!:-) I hope they are found their mother 🙂
Adorable shot of them!:-)
+Karolina Trapp they were really cute.
+Nicola Smith​ I think she did, at least I hope so.
+Beena R​ they were, but they kept so still there, obviously they thought that might make them less visible (normally).
+Marie, LMB​ – I hope so too. Thanks!
Adorable 💝 I hope they found their mommy.
Cute babies, they look terrified!

Masked floofs! I hope mum came and got them 🙂
Aww… so precious. xo
😀 They were pretty cute, but they won’t be so cute when they’re grown up!
Aww… so cute! :))
+Isabelle Cardinal​ thanks a lot, Isabelle! Yup, it's a poor combination, with Joni's level of excitement and the racoons' level of fear!
Ho what a sweet story….. they are so cute!!! Yes, better stay away from border collies hehe 🙂
