Some of what we've been missing.

Just a little of what we have not been able to see since the computer fried! Some pics of the big kids. Many thanks to James who managed to recover the lost pics! My hero!!

Isles takes a dip in the pool.

 Tumbler the Roman nosed coonie. You can kind of see the bump in her nose from her trauma in this picture.

 Chester enjoys some very casual dining, then decides to see if I just might have something better to offer.

 Doc

 Bama strikes a pose, got it just before the trouble maker to the left of him pounced! LOL

 Sis is pretty much identical to her sister, Doc, with the exception of the missing ear!

 Sis hangs with Legend(right) on the tire...that's Trooper looking on in the background.

 Rocco takes a dip then lounges poolside.

 Du.....I mean Brim with those big ears!

 Soldier...that's Springer in the background.

 Troublemaker Trooper....yes, he is this years Vin!

 Sammy also enjoys very casual dining.

 Spit enjoys a swing on the tire.

 The dining common.

 A final pose by Sammy....who is HUGE I might add!

The gang is doing great and now it's just a matter of finding appropriate release sites for them. It's getting harder and harder to find them and we may be looking at some hard releases this year as a result. :( 

Anyone near the Boston area on land with lots of room willing to donate some space for a while get in touch with me please!



Trooper's gang reunited & other goings-on!

Houdini has fit right in with Petey, Pinner and Spencer! All 4 get along very well and Houdini's wounds are healing very well.
Houdini smiles for the camera.

Pinner

Petey enjoys some apple.

Little Spencer says Hi!

All 4 of them have been moved outside finally, into the pen vacated by Trooper and the whole gang. They are loving it out there and have been joined by 2 of Laurie's kids, Cooper and Mayhem and all 6 are getting along perfectly.

In the meantime.....all the older maniacs are taking full advantage of the big pen! With a lot more room to run around in, more height and trees to climb and a pool, it is raccoon heaven as far as they are concerned.

Their biggest decision of the day....chicken necks or apples? Hmmmm...tough choice! LOL

Once a coveted chicken neck is chosen, it's time to run off and HIDE away from everyone else so they don't have to share it! Soldier wasted no time escaping with his!

Brim in his hiding spot of choice. Look at those ears! Remind  you of another Dumbo-esk coonie from the past? I'll give you a hint.....Seeker! We can contact life on planets far, far away with those ears...hehe.

The lovely Miss Porcelain.

With one ear, Doc is always easy to spot.

It doesn't take long for 19 baby coons to trash a nice clean pool...but Rocco is enjoying a swim anyway.

Sammy looking a little guilty if ya ask me!

Bobbing for whats left of the apples.

I'm not positive, but that looks like Sis's butt to me.

Pebbles

Trooper after I snatched him up before he could cause the mayhem I knew he was planning! I think his look says it all....."what? what'd I do?!" Nothing this time you little bugger! LOL

Bama, Springer, Chester, Rizzoli, Isles, Legend and Tumbler eagerly await their chance to get in there!

Minutes later I obliged them...and oh what a fun time was had by all!

Moving to the big pen.

With River and her gang out of the big pen, it was time to move some of the babies in. So I moved the bigger of the babies...Trooper, Soldier, Sammy, Rocco, Doc and Sis over there and boy are they loving it! I was hesitant to put the smaller of that crew in there, but they have to get used to the height at some point, and although they are small for their age, developmentally they are where they should be....just like the bigger ones. So I'm getting ready to move Lucky, Ducky, Porcelain, Pebbles, Brim and Spit in there with them. They will be able to interact through a window with Bama and his crew and eventually all join up as one big crew. Then let the games begin!

Soldier

Sammy

Rocco

Sis

Soldier again.

Sis and I'm not sure who's on top there!

Trooper troublemaker! Yup...he's the new one for this year!

Doc

Soldier and Doc

Rocco

Trooper

A long day of play makes for sleepy babies!

A walk with Spencer & Pinner.

Playtime outside started out as a mad dash in fear for higher ground...

....then progressed to OMG what is this stuff! Pick me up  NOW please!.....

...finally to Hey this is kind of neat.....lets check it out! 

Once they got more curious then afraid...it was fun all around! Needless to say I got soooo many adorable pictures!... which I narrowed down to just a few....(oh about 18, LOL) cute ones. So enjoy as they explore and hang out with a new friend they seemed to take quite a liking to!
