Was it a real racoon? A stuffed animal? If real, was it alive? I LOVE your work and I know I will find it haunting my own after having viewed your galleries, so thank you. On behalf of the future.
It was real and alive... he didn't make any noise or move too much until I got close to it, so it was kinda startling.
wow, i love this picture, so cute that he stayed still for you to get the pic lol. Your pics are the best!
Racoons own..OMFG, meh Gaara-sama!! XD
I love it!
He is so darn cute.
What was that kids cartoon? A racoon...I think was named Rikki-Tikki-Tavii...?
Rikki Tikki Tavi is a mongoose, Tony. Are you thinking of Rocky Raccoon?
Rocky racoon was a beatles song, maybe tony is thinking of ricky racoon?
A MONGOOSE??!?!?! I coulda swored he was a racoon....Oh, well...
Sorry, Tony m'dear. Rikki was a mongoose.
Thanks, Twug!! I stand...well, SIT...corrected!
Love ya, Tony!

Glad the wife went to bed...<jk>
So your NOT glad the wife went off to bed?
Wow...I made the comment kind of sarcastically in another section that i'd worry about coons more than people. They're disgusting animals - crap everywhere, and dangerous to be around. They look fuzzy and interesting, but their fur is better off on a coat than alive and in a room with you.
fuck you, DW. no animal deserves to end up as a coat.
If you are disgusted by any animal, then stay the hell away from it rather than be an idiot and try to harm it. I'm sure people are disgusted by you and you don't see them trying to kill you and wear you.
Hmmm lets see: 2 5 gallon pails, a length of cable, a piece of angle iron, juice bottle, something that looks like a shoe... yup it still qualifies as 10 items or less, pull it up to the next checkout!
funny that the little guy found such a cluttered cart to be comfy... well maybe he likes to feel surrounded, who knows.
rikki tikki tavaii, I remember that cartoon. definetly a mongoose. saves his "family" from two was it king cobras? racoons aren't disgusting animals. They r wild animals! I think humans r the only truly disgusting animals. Because they know between right and wrong. we had a pet racoon once. He was hit by a car and we nursed him back to health. He lived in our basement in Queens for 4 mos. he would come up and see my 3yr old on the floor and he would sit and watch her from a distance. he was very shy and clean for the most part. I think he knew we had saved his life.
I'm with mAliss: "fuck you, DW. no animal deserves to end up as a coat."

*puts on checkgirl uniform and speaks into microphone* Pricecheck, I need a price check on a Raccoon.
I agree with who said humans were the disgusting animals. We're the only animals that are naked their whole life.
... You could have got 'the cart' like poor little Ricky here.
DW,would you feel better if the racoon was box trained, and held up the welcome flag when you enterd the room. P.S. they are wild animals. they not know what a toliet is nor do they welcome visitors.
When I toured building 93, the piles of racoon shit on the stairs were six inches deep.
Foulness unsurpassed.
Dude!
The droppings may have been from pidgeons.Pidgeons are known to leave their droppings in the same place for a long time.I have been in old buildings where the droppings were 6 to 12 inches deep.
My grandmother had a pet raccoonn, it used to lie around her neck and look like a fur stoal.
The flats at Portsmouth's Tricorn Centre were closed years before it was pulled down, & were 3 feet deep in pigeon's doings.
you should have kept the raccoon as a pet raccoons are cute
Thats' what Racoons do.
i dont like racoons idk why it was sleeping in that cramped cart but yea there all over kppc along with cats dogs birds bats and pretty much evreything
Aaahhhhh...Bless the little fellow! You could write a children's adventure story about a colony of raccoons or squirrels or something who lived in a disused building complex- maybe not a mental hospital, granted, but perhaps a school or a cinema.
well it could be a chiderns story but you have to remebr alot of these little creatures end up dyeing in here lol i know in one fo the buildings theres piles and piles of dead birds and bats
That was really cute
Lol! That's great! He should be your mascot, ha!

Motts and his new friend, Cooney!

yay!
you find these in the black mountain hills of dakota where one of them is named rocky raccoon.
6' high and riseing
how adorable... i would hope you were nice to him Motts, considering u intruded upon him :)
Personally, I think racoons are fascinating, they are very smart and have thumbs like humans... I have seen one open a Pepsi can after he and his friends had raided our campsite... btw DW... wouldn't it be interesting if you were reincarnated into a racoons body after u die?? *throws head back and emits an evil laugh*
i was in 39 at night last year and a racoon jumped outa nowhere. scared the shit outve us.
Was he stuck in there?!
He's so adorable! Poor guy! I would take him home and care for him, but they don't make great pets.
Follow-up for all of the folks in the "humans are the bad animals" camp. I guess you guys either live in the burbs or the city, or don't really get outside much.

Read up a little on raccoons. They're not dogs or cats....and cut it on the latent "civilized man's guilt" thing (where your basic needs have been met, and you choose to find things to feel bad about because you don't have to struggle for your existence), there are bigger problems in the world.

He'd be better as a coat. There's no shortage of them. They make OK pets if you have them from birth, but you don't want them mixing with the wild ones if you keep one as a pet, and even as pets, they bite. When the wild ones bite, you have big trouble.

See if your feelings are the same if you have them fighting with your dogs or unwanted around kids (though most of you probably aren't mature enough that you have kids).
>>... btw DW... wouldn't it be interesting if you were reincarnated into a racoons body after u die?? *throws head back and emits an evil laugh*<<

I'd assume that the odds of reincarnating as anything are .... zero.

So, I'll take the odds on worrying about that happening.
Ooo, you should never go near a raccoon, especially in the daytime. If a raccoon is out in the daytime, it most likely means that it's sick.
