Some of the girls.

Took a quick run out back after work & feeding the babies. Daisy was dining at one raised feeder. I went over to give her some treats and she crawled into my arms. OMG...what a fatty!!! I can't believe how heavy she was!! She's obviously doing great!

Brownie was out and about with her 4 kits and Belle was quick to come over and say Hi! and grab a treat. She was equally as quick to run back into the bushes where the girls were churring away calling to her.

Tosser, Mo & Roxy join the big kids.

Last night was Tosser, Mo and Roxy's first full night out in the big boys pen! They have been having "play times" together to get used to each other. Everyone did so well yesterday....all day....that we tried the sleepover. Everyone loves the little boys......who couldn't, they're so damn cute!....and aside from a few tiffs between the girls.... Roxy, Growler & Tugger (leave it to the girls!) they are doing great together.

Mo enjoys the hammock!

Tosser the cutie!

Mo enjoys a snack & Tosser again.

The rest of the gang finds out about the snack!

Clover smiles for the camera.

Tugger finds the hidden snack.

Tosser and Mo wrestle in the hammock....what a blast they were having!

Roxy enjoying the treat before the invasion.

Group wrestle in the hammock!!

Enough with the pictures mom! (I only took about a million pics of them sitting up there!)

Roxy reclines in the hammock.

Teddy enjoys a a good chin scratching.

Ok mom....one last picture....and can I finishing eating now!

Last night ran into Screech and Popeye out back. They both look great and no new injuries thank god!! The night before Daisy popped up for a visit by the kids pen. She didn't stay long, but after I fed I went out back and ran into her again out there. Ringer was also there with 6 or more kits hanging in the tree. They weren't all hers....but it's amazing how great they are with kits regardless of who they belong to!

I think Ringer actually has at least 2 kits now. I originally thought only one, but last night when I went out, I ended up between Ringer and company on the feeding platform and a kit in a tree behind me. When it started churring anxiously because it was afraid to come to the platform with me there, Ringer went right over to it and she had one of the kits from the platform right on her heels!

Again, I didn't stay long because the MASSIVE swarm of mosquitoes drove me in!

A walk in the yard.

Tosser and Mohican got to check out the big world outside today! They thoroughly enjoyed checking out flowers and plants and anything else that caught their attention.....as long as it wasn't too far away from mom! First we have the ever adorable Tosser...........

Then the equally adorable Mohican!

Introducing Roxy

Here's Roxy! A beautiful little girl JoAnn has been caring for since getting her last month. And what a wonderful job she did! Now it's time for Roxy to meet other raccoons and join the gang. She already loves Tosser and Mohican. They spent a few days at Auntie JoAnn's while I had a visit with some friends on Martha's Vineyard, so she got to know the little boys.

Mohican

Tosser in all his cuteness! Oh I could just kiss him to death he's so cute!

Roxy takes the high ground in the big kids pen!

Cute little Stinky. Roxy likes Stinky and Nosey too because they also stayed with Auntie JoAnn and they all had a wonderful sleepover together.

Tugger the acrobat!

Awwww! Roxy plays with the twins.

Teddy confronts Roxy! (and wins believe it or not!) Hard to believe that little tyke could get the bigger girl to back down, but she is out of her element after all.

Roxy finds the hammock.....and loves it! Then again what coonie doesn't love the hammocks!



Roxy has been having supervised visits in with the gang to get them all used to each other. For the most part they check her out then go about their crazy antics again. Occasionally someone tries to pick a fight, but they'll all adjust eventually. I added Tosser and Mo to the mix with Roxy this morning so she would feel a little more comfortable with more friends joining her. The gang really liked the boys and Mo had a grand ole' time running around like a mad man.

Thanks JoAnn for taking the little kids while I went away and Laurie for taking care of the older kids while I was gone. I couldn't have done it without you both!!!!!

Mary has been sick with pneumonia and bronchitis. Too busy taking care of all the babies coming in and not herself! A couple days at the hospital and she is home and starting to feel better thank goodness! I'm so glad she's doing better......Get some rest chicky!! It's a miracle we havn't all ended up like that!
