Of course. Bandit:)
Or perhaps Bandito or Bandita if you know the gender.

Lots of entries. I might have to have Eric simply draw names, as there are already too many good raccoon names here!

Waschbär:)
Here we call them raccoons Tvättbjörn for the same reason as Germans do.
In Finland Pesukarhu also for the same reason.

Oh. Björn and Karhu are nice names.

Message 1883194 - Posted: 11 Aug 2017, 17:16:01 UTC

Last night I was sitting on a porch step feeding Peanut and her babies. Peanut was right at my feet most of the time. Her babies were behind her, except for one exceptionally brave kit who sometimes stood right next to mama.

At one point, Peanut got thirsty and went to the water bowl, which was across from me and slightly behind me. In doing so she inadvertently placed me between herself and her babies. When she realized that I was between her and her babies, Peanut gave me a particularly long,, low, evil warning growl.

It did not matter that I hadn't moved and that SHE was the one who had accidentally placed me between herself and her babies! (Raccoons are not very good at accepting responsibility.)

It also did not matter that she and I were "friends". Well... as much as one can be friends with a wild animal.

At that moment in time, I was a threat to her babies and Peanut made sure I knew that she was keeping an eye on me.

From now on though, I'm going to place the water dish in front of me so that Peanut has no reason to go behind me.

Live and learn...

I don't think I could put up with them in the house, watching them outside is enough for me. LOL

Chase is a good either-sex name. See if one of them is always lagging behind and struggling to catch up.

Hopefully I get to meet them soon, as I have a date with Spawnie. Also I think Tinkerbell has forgiven me the loss of her "Mom" Tessie. She is once again sleeping behind my monitor.

Late to the game, but in memory of some of my pets I put the following names in the pool.

Latte
Ruta
Bailey
Oreo
Tubbs
Ziggy
Pluto will always be a Planet to me.
