Wed three hungry raccoons

I only got one raccoon. We had four, but those bears got them all rattled. There's Mr. Connor. He's eating cookies. Where are you going? Huh? Where are you going? Where are you going? You want to finish off the cookies? Yeah, there was four of them out there. I went to open the door, put the food out, and they all took off. This guy came back. Oh, and Angie's sick. She's in the hospital all night, and she got up this morning. And wrecked the bed and she's still down there now. So I'm looking after all the animals and the cats and doing the litter. And I went to the drugstore to get a fill prescription there. He's leaving. It was cold last night. It was below freezing. Wasn't it Connor? It was cold last night. Yes, it was. Yes, it was. It was cold. So this is Charlotte, the little girl. If the bears come tonight, I'm going to try to film them. They were here three times last night. I stayed up till 5 o'clock in the morning waiting for her to see if she was getting home or not. I'm going to flip this over. There we go. Yeah, I stayed up till 5 o'clock waiting on her. And she didn't go home till 10. So she's been in bed ever since. She'd get up a couple of times to get something to drink and that. But anyway, she said, I'm manning the fort. Sure. Ha, ha, ha. She said, I was supposed to look after you, she said. Well, I'm fine. I feel good. So we're wearing masks just in case she got one on. If she comes upstairs, I put a mask on, she puts one on. Anyway, I'm very pleased with how the election went last night down in the United States. I'm hoping that, oh my God, things will go back to normal and get rid of these tariffs. The tariffs are hurting not just us, but the people in America as well. It's costing an arm and a leg to... to bring stuff in from Canada and same thing with us bringing in the stuff from the United States so her book if you buy it down in the United States is very cheap but up here it's all it's with the 50% tariff it's 50 some dollars for a children's book and it's not worth it. So we brought a whole bunch here and we sold them locally. So what are you looking at? She thinks I'm going to feed her. She just ate. Yeah, she just ate. He's up there resting in the tree. I know them bears will be around. I have to go out with a shovel tomorrow and they pooped in my lawn. Now, I was saying to Angie the last night, I said, you know, the raccoons here, they don't poop on the deck. They don't poop in the yard anywhere. Like we go around with the lawnmower and that, you don't see any. Nothing. They must do it in the woods somewhere, but they don't do it out in the yard, but the bears do, and it's huge. It's like an elephant. But the other night they were playing on the lawn, and last night the big fella came, and he laid down in the middle of my lawn and went to sleep. But his fur looks good, and he's got lots of hair. And notice that our deer has the winter fur on now. They're a great dark brown and the summertime is like a reddish color. So they got their winter coats on too. So, Charlotte, Charlotte, I'm not feeding you. No way. I'm going to put a movie on. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to make some toast for myself. No, not a soul. Mr. Connor, he's just a baby boy. He's daddy's baby boy. Yes, he was. MMMMMMMMMM Oh, is he ever purring? Is he ever purring? Yes, you were. You're purring, aren't you? Yeah. He likes this on the bridge of his nose. He likes to get rubbed there. Yeah. And he likes his back rubbed. And he, once I went to bed, he went to bed with me. And then she came home, went to bed, and he stayed the rest of the day. But I get up and I went. To get her prescriptions and stuff. Right Connor? I wish they'd fix that bridge in Stellarton. There's only one... The only way to get to Stellarton now is to... Oh, there we go. We've got somebody coming. Two! There we go. Don't be fighting. There's lots of food there. Oh, three. Here we go. Everybody's happy. Everybody's happy. I'm going to turn that overhead light off here. I don't get the reflection in the door. There. There's lots of hot dogs there. I put out full hot dogs. I didn't cut them. Last night, the bandit was up here. Yeah. Look how big he is, huh? Big bum on him. And I'd have to say the other raccoons that don't come here, they're pretty thin by the time they're finished sleeping. But these guys are still fat. Because we get a real mild day and we keep the deck cleaned off all winter and by golly they come up and Boy, they just load right up where they're we're here waiting for them if they get a mild day out to come Well, at least they know where to come to get fed. Well, he's licking all the cream off the cookies. What's he gonna have hot dog? He's gonna have a hot dog. I put a dozen out there. I'm surprised that Scooter's not up here But we're not getting a big crowd. A lot of them left when the bears start coming. A lot of them, they'll just move to another area. But the regulars, they stay. Yeah. He's watching them. Do you see the raccoons? Connor. He's used to them now. He's been looking at them for... He came here in 2014. So he's been watching them all that time. He was two when he got here. So he's about... And it says 12 years he's been here, so he'd be 14 years old now, and she's about the same age. She was at Tracy's for a long time, and then she moved in here, and she's been here since April 22nd of 2015. So I had him from August 14 up to in April, and we were just him and I together. Yeah. Oh, these fellas are hungry. Well, they know where to come. Come on, come on. And the little guy that brought us hot dogs Halloween night, we put his hot dogs out right away and they ate them all. Didn't they, Connor? Huh? He's not bothered anymore. He's, I'm not watching. Oh, he's taking cookies over. And we're down to, he's going to eat cookies. We're down to three hot dogs left. I'll have to get some more. I'll wait till they move on and then I'll put some more out. I imagine that it's, what, 10 to 8 here now? Yeah. Some of our provinces didn't put the time back. All the western provinces stayed the same and part of Ontario, but Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, they all went back the hour. I hate that when the time goes back. I get a cuckoo clock here that it's a nuisance changing it. It's not a problem going ahead. It's when you've got to go back. I have to do a reset on it and sometimes I just leave it. A little bit. I just leave it on this the time and don't worry about it. The other paw left and we just got two here now. Another one back. Yeah So we're back up to three. And uh when we pet them the fur is very soft. Yeah I have to put some more hot dogs out. Yes I gotta put more hot dogs. As soon as I crack that door they'll be gone. He's gone to sleep huh? Sleepy head. He's there cleaning up the cookies. I'm going to have my toast and I'm going to put more food out for these fellas. So anyway, we'd say goodbye for now. It's good to have them back. I'm All right, we'll see you later. starting Bye-bye. to speak now.
