Welcome back!

Raccoons can be very nosy critters. They can also be very amusing. We used to live in a place where the raccoons would come in and visit us in the house. The house was old and had a number of holes in the floor. The raccoons would come in and help themselves to the dog food that we would put in an old frying pan.

When a bunch of them would gather around it there would be so much snorting and grunting, I thought that they sounded remarkably like a pack of pigs at the feeding trough. One day my husband and I watched one raccoon washing its feet in an old butter tub that we used for water for them. It sat on the side and scrubbed its feet down in the tub. When it got done it made the mistake of sitting up. The next thing that we knew, the tub flipped over and dumped all of the water all over the coon. It grumbled, griped and snorted while my husband and I laughed ourselves silly at its antics.
