Oh my goodness! He's really cute, but please tell me there was some sort of structure between the two of you!!

Not really, he was on the roof of the garage, and we were on the porch overlooking it. There are stairs that lead from one to the other. Poor thing was pretty badly hurt (probably got into a fight with one or more of the cats in the neighborhood), and had come up to the garage roof to sleep it off - a raccoon asleep on a dark surface in broad daylight is a pretty good indication that something's wrong.

Poor guy! The awake during the day was why I was hoping he wasn't too close. My brain went to rabies, but injury makes sense, too. Hope he'll be ok.

When I first saw him he was a mere ball of fur, asleep. I didn't realize he was a raccoon until he uncurled, at which point I was briefly worried, until I saw him try to walk -- he was dragging one leg behind him and clearly wanted to get *away* from me.

Poor guy! Great photo as always. Thanks for sharing!

He was gone when I got home, so I expect animal control came. I hope it wasn't too hard on him... He is a cute little thing.

Either that or Rocky Raccoon checked into his room...
