Raccoon Knocks On Woman's Door Every Day, Asks For Food For Her Family
"Knock, Knock" ..."Who's there?" It's Rocksy the Raccoon!!! I have been a huge animal lover my entire life and have been very involved with animal rescue, so when wildlife shows up in my yard, I am always delighted and love to watch them. This little raccoon, ROCKSY, was born in my yard and spends a lot of her time lounging around! I have several cats that I feed, and of course, if there is any cat food left, the wildlife snags it! LOL Months ago... I heard loud banging... it was her... sitting on her butt... holding a little rock and slamming it on the metal door frame and rubbing the rock back and forth across the glass! It was hysterical. Then, she stopped for a while... I thought something had happened to her, but now I think it was because she was so pregnant, it was too much work! She recently had her babies... and there she was knocking again... as if to say, "HEY YOU! The cat food bowl is empty and I am nursing four babies... I need nourishment... do you know how much energy it takes to feed four kids at once?" LOL I crack up when she does this and decided to share it... it is adorable. I also want people to understand that just because a raccoon is out in the DAY, does NOT mean it has rabies. This is such a myth. So many times it is a mother raccoon looking for food in the day because she stays with her babies at night to protect them from predators. I just want everyone to know how wonderful, smart and sweet raccoons are and we need to treat them with love and respect and let them live their lives in peace. Cover your trash, block areas where they can come in and if you see one stuck in a huge trash dumpster... put in a board or tree branch so they can climb out. If you love raccoons and other wildlife and would like to donate to my favorite wildlife rescue where I have volunteered for years... visit: www.wildlifeinc.org "
