Raccoon tales...

As a follow up to my 'Don't get a pet raccoon' post the other day, I wanted to add these two links:

A short article by Rory Matier (who we procured Meeka from) relating to his getting attacked by a Raccoon

http://www.isleauhaut.net/maskd/twentyreasons.htm

From the website of Maskd_Bandit (very good raccoon information) - an explanation of why not to have a Raccoon

If you are thinking about getting a pet raccoon, I would strongly recommend reading these articles first.

Make an informed decision...

Raccoon Wallpaper

Just thought I'd share this one with you - I made myself a new desktop background with a raccoon picture on it.
I found an interesting picture of a raccoon in the right pose on google images and converted it into a stencil type brush, I'm thinking of purloining it as a logo - or at least waiting til Meeks is a bit bigger and getting a good photo I can use instead....

Meeka in the Garden

I finally uploaded the video of Meeka in the garden.
The nice music is by Royksopp.

Sorry about the lack of updates, me and Michelle have been laid out with gastroenteritis (probably Norvovirus) for the last few days.

Here's a quick photo I've just taken of Meeka having a munch on my daughters fingers, She's teething now and loves to suck fingers, noses, earlobes and anything else she can get hold of.

Hopefully I will get on and get some decent updates done soon (and get a new camera to improve on the quality of my phone pictures).

Introductions...

Welcome to Meeka's space on the net.

Meeka is our Pet Raccoon, she arrived on the 6th of May when she was was only two weeks old.

Her mothers milk had dried up, so we agreed to take her on to hand rear her, and she is now a member of our family.

I have set up this blog to post photos and videos of our baby as she grows up.

Hopefully there will be another post soon, and some more videos... I just need to convince my missus to invest in a digital video camera, rather than using my mobile...
