My son wants to name them, of course. They are cute, and bold as brass. The little beggars!

I told you they would come back with a bunch of uncles, kids and grandmas. :)

Now I suspect there will be 6 foot intelliget raccoons in Doug's next story.

6 foot intelligent raccoons

Reminds me of a short story called "King of the Hill" by Chad Oliver, about a man who, knowing the ecological end of Earth was drawing nigh, sent a clutch of automated rockets to terraform and seed Titan with Earth life. Frozen, fertilized ova were raised to term and decanted by robots. There were no humans among the Titanites; he'd sent a bunch of different kinds of animals, though.

The end of the story has a group of raccoons around a fire, roasting meat. A dog waits patiently at the edge of the circle of light and heat, tail thumping, and finally one of the raccoons tosses him a scrap.

At the risk of repetition...awwwwwwwww!!!
My in-laws had one that got under the car's hood and ate at the wires. They also had possums living on their roof; those suckers eat anything...I was a witness. They are very shy creatures.

Thanks everyone. Pat -- sounds like a cool story.

Yeah, methinks they're big vermin, but cute vermin nonetheless.
