Yes. He was quite friendly - more socially inclined than the cat we had since kittenhood, actually. Would play with the dogs after a couple weeks (originally he hated them) and ended up sleeping in the bed of who ever had their door open.
Yea, it was one of the few times I cried. I'm over it, sort of. I still miss him and all - he was born three months before me, and was my best friend until I was like ten - but he was in pain, had cancer, so I had a way to reason with myself regarding his death.

"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
A few temporary pets. A family of Raccoons took up residence in the woods by our creek. My son had lured them in with dog food and bits of scrap food. They have since moved on.

All the pictures touch my heart, but I think I have a soft spot for the raccoon, Gilliatt.I thought maybe you took that picture.
Millie continues to charm, BrianBean; Azazael, the puppy-what can I say? What a beauty.
Olga, I enjoyed the Purina All-Stars clips. It would be hard to claim a favorite there. Your little neighbor cat, so dignified and wary. Your heart goes out to them. Cats are often mistreated, far more so than dogs.
Claes, I think you've posted pics of that little guy before-what a huggable, loveable little hunk of fur he is.

Wonderful pictures Gilliatt, I wish we had raccoons in England.

This is one of two of my beautiful dogs :] His name is Jake and I've had him for 7 years.

Yes, he really is, and you are right: There are pictures of him all over the place... He is not in the least camera shy, so...
The pictures are indeed wonderful, but be careful what you wish for: Racoons are smart, and would be quite capable of causing all sorts of problems if they got loose over here.

Yes, a similar thing happened when the American grey squirrel was introduced into Europe where it has virtually wiped out the native red. In fact, the only place that I have seen red squirrels is in the Zentral Friedhof in Vienna. However, whatever their disagreeable habits may be, raccoons certainly look very cute.
