I love raccoons! I know they're grabby, thieving little bastards who have a tendency to be aggressive, but they're ridiculously smart and completely adorable. Imagine my delight when I came across a whole bunch of their little pawprints on a low bridge over still water while on my hike in Big Thicket. My brain instantly conjured up a little scene of this woodland cutie clinging to the bridge as it dipped whatever it had scavenged in the water below, washing it's food before transfering the tasty morsel into its mouth and setting its wet paws on the bridge, leaving little pawprints in the thin layer of dirt covering the wood. I had fun with that mental image for a while as I hiked, quickly morphing it into a fairytale fantasy of woodland creatures swarming to me a la Snow White or Cinderella. *Sigh* I can be a total romantic some times...
Leave me a comment below and let me know if I'm alone in the world regarding my fairytale fantasies... Help me out here, people!
I love it! When we are out walking and the bunnies seem to hop along in the same direction I get the same feeling...then Axle normally scared them away, lol.
