Update on the gang at Mary's

Some of last years gang have been coming in for regular visits at Mary's. Winnie actually came back to the pen and had 4 adorable kits in the den box in there! She brought them out the other night for a little exploring in the woods.

Meeko and Tugger were hanging around together raiding Mary's bird feeder! LOL Both either have kits somewhere or are going to it appears! I got a quick hello from them while they scurried about eating and avoiding the very protective Winnie!

Seeker was chilling out on top of the den box near the feeding station keeping a safe distance from all the hormonal females! More than happy to get a little back scratching from mom though!

Ran into Buster about a week or so back...he seemed a little slow and sore but he was walking and climbing fine and happy to say hi to mom too!

Our returning raccoon kids...Seeker & Winnie!!

Well I just got back from a wonderful dinner out with Laurie and Mary....I needed to get out!

When we got back to Mary's we caught sight of a couple of ring tails scooting away in the dark! We went out calling and it wasn't long before Winnie came running in to visit and play. A little more patience and her cohort was discovered......Seeker! He was much more shy, but he still let his mom come over and give him a Hi, a good chin scratching and of course some marshmallows!

I was so happy to see Winnie and Seeker...they both looked GREAT and it was a much better end to my week!! If I didn't have to get up bright and early to work in the morning, I could have spent hours out there hoping to see more!

More fun!

Just some various pics of the gang again. Look how much they have grown! Here's a perfect example of the size range. We have the smallest guy Tosser in front followed by Seeker, one of the biggest boys!

Another group wrestle in the hammock.

Mohican rolls his eyes at mom agin....taking more pics as usual!


Teddy hanging out.

Growler gets chewed on by Buster and kissed by Tosser.

My little Toto....Tosser in all his cuteness.

Seeker decides to pose for "Playcoon". What a sexy beast!

Seeker being a wiseguy as he plows over Buster to try to get to the bottle, then tries to take it from Tosser while he eats!

Buster wants to take up the flute so he's practicing hard here!

Buster and Seeker wrestle it out over a bottle they will never get!

Would you trust that face??? Seeker is definitely up to no good, the little devil!

Growler tries out her sexy pose for "Playcoon".

The little kids chow down before the big kids invade. Tosser and Mohican in the middle and Nosey and Stinky are the bookends.

My cuties Toto and Momo! (My pet names for Tosser and Mohican)

As you can see they are all just as cute as ever and loving life! Tosser and Mo are going to have to possibly winter over because they are so small. I'm not sure if they will catch up to the rest of the gang when it comes to packing on the weight in time. But since the new guy will probably have to stay and will need company, it will be the perfect situation for them all.

The cuteness continues.

Mother!!!! Are you going to come in and play with us or what!

Seeker (aka Dumbo!!) Still waiting for him to grow into those ears!

Stinky...one of the terrible twosome.

Fun in the hammock with Seeker....

Clover.....

Stinky again.....

Nosey, the other half of the terrible twosome....

Buster sees something interesting out there.

Clover reclines in the hammock.

Growler says Mom!! Pick me up!!!!

Went out back last night and ran into Red, Belle, Foxy, Daisy and Popeye. Popeye is limping again but quick enough to run away and climb trees so I think he'll be fine. I'll keep going out to check on him. Since I let Screech go (again!) the other night, they have the cage for refuge if needed. There were lots of other eyes out there but no one else came in to pay a visit.

Feeding time!

Is it me or does Seeker have big ears?? Poor guy, he'll grow into them! The 4 older kids are weaned and scoffing down crunchy puppy chow.

Growler has some food stuck in her teeth!

Seeker does not want to share with Nosey!

Another laughing raccoon!

Clover enjoys some crunchy puppy chow too.

Who knows what Buster was up to here!

The laughing Clover!

Buster says his prayers before going back to his cage and bedtime!

One bottle was not enough.......Tosser wants more, more, more!!!!

Mohican sucks my thumb.

Tosser and Mohican after their bottles.

One of the twins, Nosey, want more too!

The twins are finally starting to settle down a little. Finally a little quiet time after dinner instead of the constant screaming for Stinky!
