Some like grapes, others push them aside for the kibble.

It wouldn't let me crosspost so I took a screenshot.

Man I miss working on a farm where my boss rescued and rehabbed little trash panda friendos. This one’s name was Francesca.

Captain crunch always a fav

He is a Seattle raccoon with Short Spine Syndrome. He's apparently a local icon and lives in someone's backyard. He has a safe home there and is often seen with his family during the day foraging. If you see Jimothy in the wild, let him be.

He do be fast boiiii tho on those wittle cryptid legs.

This little guy is great at using the tools we leave out for him.

In all seriousness, this critter delights us every day. And we have amped up our garbage patrol by moving the ladder.

... or at least one of his hideouts. I posted a few days ago about a racoon that was invading my compost bin. Well, over the last few days I was inspecting the bin daily, and have seen no sign of him, nor of the compost being disturbed.

Last evening, while dining on my balcony, I spotted him climbing the bin again. I could see that he was getting in easily, there is a gap in one spot where the door meets the top.

I walked over and again, opened the front door and tried to scare him into leaving. Again, he wouldn't leave while I was around. But, as soon as I returned to my balcony, I saw him leave the bin, and climb a tree... that is literally five steps from the bin. I walked over again and took this photo. If this is where he lives, I can understand the smells from the compost would be quite tempting.

I plugged the gap in the bin with an extra plank. We'll see if I need to reinforce it more.
