On a scale of one to ‘I own a pet raccoon,’ how weird are you?

@Neoerectus i named the cows down the road myself. Farmer doesn't know probably

@goliathtree i have always wanted a racoon. And a chipmunk

@Bexsy had a pet red squirrel too...not quite a chipmunk but...

The funny part is that we have eaten a lot of racoon and when we had them as pets, my grandpa always asked if we were getting them fattened up...

@goliathtree Every pet racoon we had was named....wait for it.....Rocky. They were all smart. One of the earliest ones I remember slept in the big maple tree outside the front door. It came scrambling down every time we came out and she always wanted to be with us. We would sneakily let her in the house with us, but that quickly ended when, in an effort to get up on the couch with us, she began climbing the window drapes and pulled the curtain rod and all off the wall...Mom said "no more!"

@exexec I’ve been talking to squirrels lately at the bird feeder.

@cherokeepatti I tell them to leave some for the birds. They seem to obey.

@exexec The cardinals and house finches have to get to the feeder earlier in the morning to get the sunflower seeds before the squirrels come to feed. I’ve been giving them crackers, dried-out tortillas, and cookies to give them something else to fill up on.

@Pinkstarburst love it 🤣

@Pinkstarburst 🤦‍♂

@Degbeme 🤷🏻‍♀

@Bexsy sharks hate that song.

@Bexsy thanks its what I deserve.

@Jeephikelove Easy to chase after.

@Bexsy especially while it’s a baby, they’re so darn cute!!
