John Fetterman Has Repeatedly Called For The Release of ONE THIRD Of Inmates….
September 23, 2022I love raccoons. Those darling little trash pandas are the cutest. I follow TikTok accounts of people who have them as pets, and I am constantly begging Mr. Mock to let me be one of those people, and he is constantly trampling all over my dreams. Daisy says I’m crazy to want a pet raccoon. But you guys, THEY ARE SO FREAKING CUTE. And I feel pretty confident that if I were to adopt an itsy bitsy baby one then it would grow up loving me and being sweet and cuddly and precious. Like this one, the emotional support raccoon who isn’t PERFECT at her job, but certainly gives it a good effort.
One time, I got to go to a place where I got to pet ALL KINDS of cool animals – a wolf, a fox, lemurs, wallabies – I PET SO MANY THINGS. And I also got to play with a GIANT FAT raccoon who jumped onto my back and tried to steal my sunglasses.
This morning, I saw this hilarious video on Twitter, and y’all I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT ON A CONTINUOUS LOOP. LOOK AT HIM.
Anyway, I want a raccoon.

They’re cute little buggers but can be very nasty.
A few years back I had the opportunity to help a raccoon that was trapped in the dumpster behind my kids’ school. I found a board long enough to lay inside the dumpster at an angle the raccoon could walk along and up. He made it to the top, jumped off and ran into the woods. I went home with the warm glow that comes with knowing you just did something really worthwhile.
That raccoon was sniffing your hair. Did you name him Joe?
Pretty sure he already had a name but I can’t remember it now. 🙂 He was SO FAT!!!
When I was a kid I wanted a pet raccoon, skunk, deer, and/or crow. I wanted a crow so I could teach it to talk. Of course my parents weren’t having none of it and I had to settle for dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, and a pet chick named Crip (because he was crippled in a chicken wire accident).
I’ve had my share of raccoons scare the bejesus out of me when they jump out of a dumpster after I throw in a bag of garbage. Although a bum did the same thing and was much scarier.
I went to the deer park in Wisconsin Dells. There are hundreds of whitetail deer wandering the grounds that you can pet (if they let you) and feed. They were enthralled by my walker and would come up to investigate it then follow me all over the park like I was the grand marshal of a parade. It was hilarious.
The Milwaukee County Zoo has a children’s area where they let people pet a variety of animals. I can’t remember all the wild animals I petted there but there were skunks, raccoons, snakes, rabbits, and other smaller wildlife. I also got to ride an elephant at the zoo before it was deemed cruel. She almost crushed my leg against the platform where you got on and off her back so she got a little payback.
LOL The lady is talking and talking, and the raccoon is falling asleep. How come when I fall asleep while my wife is talking, she does not find it cute at all?
My 13-year-old granddaughter had a pet raccoon. Actually, it was a wild baby raccoon, and she would pet it and talk to it while it was eating from a bowl of dog food in the yard. I live in the city, but a month or so ago, we had one get on our front porch railing and stick its nose right into the doorbell ring camera.
