Coon chores

Mommy, I can fold the clothes, too! Without photos, most of you would not believe the things this little coon is capable of. She always wants to be where I am–whether it’s folding clothes or cleaning windows tending the plants . . . hanging clothes on the line . . . or just helping me…

Coon identity

“Mommy, what am I? Am I a dog? Am I a cat? Am I a human?” We’ve learned that raccoons exhibit behaviors similar to dogs and cats, but somehow unique. She seems to be a special blend of the two, with a little human toddler mixed in. Those little paws get her into more stuff….

CooNee Returns!

I didn’t tell you that CooNee was gone, because I was too sad about it and I was hoping she would return. Last Monday while we were gone all day, something happened to The Big Yellow Dog and CooNee. They disappeared. KatyBug sent me a hilarious story of how she imagined the two of them…

CooNee does the laundry!

CooNee: “Hey Mommy, whatcha doin’?” Me: “I’m doing the laundry, CooNee.” CooNee: “Pewee! This laundry is stinky like me!” Me: “Well, this is how we give the laundry a bath , CooNee” CooNee: “May I take my bath with the stinky laundry?” Me: “No, CooNee! The washing machine is a dangerous place for little raccoons.”…
