Ever wake up feeling rough? Maybe you had a long, hard day before at work and you wake up realizing you need to return. Or maybe you wake up from a sleepless night after catching the stomach bug. Or maybe you just had too much to drink the night before.
Well, I woke up on Tuesday to a hungry cat and parrot and part of my morning prep involves washing their old dishes in the kitchen sink. I always like to spy out the window to the back tree and the cemetery to see what may be out there. Often it's the same crowd, blue jays, house sparrows, and the occasional red-bellied woodpecker with feral cats below.
Well on this morning someone else was out there and they looked like they had themselves a rough go of things...

A big fluffy rotund mammal... it's no other than a raccoon!
I love raccoons and have a lot of respect for these urban raccoons- they have a lot of obstacles to overcome throughout their lives. |

| This animals' face revealed it has seen better days, for sure. Those crinkled ears-- perhaps frostbite. It's eyes seem almost puffy, eyen an old (pink) scar on its nose- who knows what this raccoon has seen! |
 |
| At the same time- he has the best spot to collect some morning warmth. |
 |
| Hopefully this raccoon had a good days sleep and got up that evening better than it ended the previous night. |
