Return of the Night Ninjas

I have kind of a love-hate-fear relationship with raccoons. I love them because they have such cute little faces and hands, I hate them because they make a mess of the yard, and I fear them because they are scary and vicious and freakishly strong and have huge fangs to tear and rend flesh. Their canine teeth are bigger than Dougal’s, and that is NOT RIGHT.

Luckily when they come around I’m able to observe them from behind the windows of my basement apartment: all the cute silly raccoon action without the terror!

Luckily I have a supremely steady hand so I was able to get some only slightly terrible pictures of our visitors.

Night Ninjas :P

I just realized the reflection of my camera hand in the glass makes it look like I’m holding the raccoon’s head O___o FREAKY!

    1. they always do little window high-fives. There was another one out there (there were actually three) that kept trying to bite our fingers through the window O___O

    1. I want to be friends with them but they are so scary! My friend knows a girl who fought a raccoon to save her dog and the thing tore her entire calf open and she needed like, 300 stitches O____O
