Rad Raccoon Crumbs

It was really weird, the other day Inkblot was sitting on the couch (having just woken up at about 2 in the afternoon - its summertime!) and she heard some scratching noises outside. She assumed that a bird or a squirrel or something got stuck in the chimney. Something like that. So anyway, Inkblot ignored the noises because there wasn't really anything she could do to help an animal stuck in the chimney. She couldn't exactly get it out. A couple minutes later, the scratching started again, and then Inkblot heard a light bang on the sliding glass doors. She looked over, and there were three small raccoons pawing at the doors. Inkblot keeps those doors closed all the time, treating them like gigantic floor-length windows, so they weren't likely to get in or anything, but who wants raccoons by their house? Even if they are really really cute little raccoons. But, being the good daughter that Inkblot is, and since she was the only one home, she went and banged on the window a little to get them to go away. And what did they do? They looked up at her for a second and then went right back to messing with the window!! The nerve. Inkblot is about ten times their size! It took like five minutes to get them to go away. And they ran up a tree, like squirrels! It was really weird. But the raccoons were definitely rad anyway. Inkblot wishes she had her camera nearby when they were there, it could have been an awesome picture!










And what were they doing out in the daylight in the first place?
