"It so happens I'm fattening up for the harsh winter just around the corner ... Tell me Chubby Cheeks, ... What's your excuse ?"

That hurt, but I had to admit, the late night poacher had a point. I said no more and shuffled off to bed shaking my head and mumbling ... "Just my luck, a talking Racoon and a sm@rt@ss to boot".

John, this is my last image for the night to comment on and I just want to thank you personally for having to lie in bed and have visions of this chubby raccoon not jumping, but crawling over the fence instead of sheep because I am unable to sleep chuckling to myself because of this image :):)
What a great capture of the "beasts" of the night. Looks like he's almost ready for the first snow LOL. Love your narrative btw. Great post!

Our Polish animals also get greedy and gluttonous these days.
I can hardly walk to the nearest newspaper stand without stumbling over a fox staring at somebody eating fast food. During the day ! And in the night !!! Noise and rush everywhere - downtown !!!LOL
To say nothing about domesticated [more or less] dogs [=Boo boo] overfeeding themselves like the coming winter is the winter of the millenium ...
Your animal was at least civilised to give some sort of excuse ...LOL

Ol' Rocky Racoon there is a little afraid that you are going to mooch some of his eatin's away from him. Good think he isn't a skunk, or you'd really be in trouble. Very nice shot, and I loved the narative, too.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

What kan I say. I saw the title. I saw who had posted it and then I said to myself, "This is going to be good". I wasn't expecting a raccoon but what a cute picture. Once again, you make me pound the computer desk table in laughter.

He looks fat enough already - You don't want him scaring your beloved birds away during the day! (although he looks cute enough to be a house pet). Great post John, and witty as usual.

Try and keep him away from there now, John! Ha! He is a regular fatty, so maybe he makes rounds of the neighborhood every night. That golden maple in the background adds a nice background for this character. I see he didn't skedattle when you came out with your camera. lol Very funny shot and very funny conversation.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
