While squirrels will always hold a special place in my heart, I cannot deny my newest obsession: Raccoons! A few weeks ago, a raccoon climbed up a tree not ten feet from our balcony. While I know raccoons aren’t uncommon in the Northwest, I didn’t expect to see one in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill. Anyway, I am happy to report that he has returned! I have named him Jasper, after the raccoon in Little House on the Prairie.
