Ever get together with a friend’s family for a meal out?
Happens in The Wild a lot. Often you’ll get distantly related families – Opossum, Raccoon, Fox, Skunk, and the like – dining together, sometimes at the same table…or pile…sometimes not.
They don’t seem to mind.
Sometimes when I’m out there, they will gather around me. Raccoon kits nibble at my toes, other kits and pups wait patiently with their elders for me to leave food for them.
I once cracked some peanuts in my hand and two raccoons stood at my feet reaching up.
Do you have any idea how wonderful it feels to know The Old Ones consider you safe?
Not to mention being an easy touch.
