Raccoons are the monkeys of North America... meaning they're crafty assholes with burglar hands.

And built-in masks.

I love watching the monkeys come through our garden every few days. They usually hang out and eat from the Pecan tree. But fuck they’ve caught me off guard enough times that I know to keep windows closed, and an eye on the front door gate.

I can’t imagine having a raccoon pack roaming about.

I have two raccoons that like to visit my yard just in case I put out peanuts for the jays.

They have shoulders broader than my pit mix’s. It’s truly impressive. And terrifying.

Are you serious? 😂 pics?

My son’s dog keeps trying to drive them off. I’ll see what I can do.

But it’s not unusual - they can get super burly, especially after autumn.
