Qbert, Snarf and Snuffles

Finally here is little Qbert ..(so named by the people that rescued him) is in with my first 2 babies Snarf and Snuffles. He was very happy to have playmates....
.....and they were more than happy to welcome a new friend!
They are doing great and already eating solids.
Awwwww...and they are just so cute together!
These guys have since moved into a bigger indoor cage and 2 younger greys and the single red are in this cage now. For lack of another red to put him with, he's in with the grey squirrels until we get one. Better to have some company than keep him alone for now.
Michelle and the rest of the little ones have finally been moved into the big pen vacated by the gang that was moved to the release site. More room to stretch their paws and run around like maniacs! They are loving it!!
We're still on track for a Wednesday release for Gerry and the gang....looks like the weather will be nice and Laurie and I are both off to send them on their way. It will be great for them but tough for us.....

The big kids.

The big boys are HUGE! All 5 boys with attitude are at least 10 lbs. and ready to go as soon as we set up a release site. The 5 NCIS kids will be waiting a little longer at just around 6 lbs. It is one big rambunctious crew though!
A little sibling rivalry......


Gerry is very good at relaxing.
Look what a big beautiful boy he is!
The younger one's still love a snuggle here and there.
Is there a treat in there or not!?
It's like a hammock and the dinner table!

Is it any wonder why I call it the laughing raccoon? You'll find this is a very common expression among happy coons!
The now destroyed papasan chair frame.....I've got to start working on a hammock made out of the fire hose we got!

I never get tired of watching them play....they are sooooo good at it and obviously enjoy themselves thoroughly!
