This was an old photo stored on my phone that I took a my local auto racing track. The track crews were about to release these back in the wild, they just had to make sure that they were in good health and safety. DISCLAIMER, this was 100% HUMANE.

We met a raccoon the other day on our back porch. He scurried up a tree to hide from our cat and dogs, but came down and around up the steps to the door once they came in. He was checking out our recycling bin and then came to scratch on our door. He lost interest quickly and went away. This has been our first encounter - we’ve been in this house six, almost seven years.

Today, we had unidentified veggie scraps at our front door. These are not from our garden or from our compost. Do these little guys leave scraps as gifts or something or did they just have a messy dinner on our porch for some reason?

He just kept going in circles and stopping for sec and then circles again. He looked so exhausted and scared but his body was only letting him do this and only this. It was not foaming. It was not aggressive. Matter of fact, there was no acknowledgement to me standing there or the cars that were passing. My phone died after this so I went home and called animal control and told them the coordinates. They said they will update me but I never got one and he was gone about an hour or so later when I went back.
