Raccoon Pool Party!

Raccoon Pool Party

 

One of our “over the fence” neighbors decided to pay us a visit while we were out doing some yard work a couple of days ago. And, without so much as saying hi, she headed straight for the pool for a bit of hand-washing. Then she took a slow stroll around the perimeter looking for the perfect spot. Obviously, she wasn’t at all concerned that Denene and I were only a few feet away.

She tested the water for a second, and then…

off she went…

for a few very leisurely laps.

Roxanne even swam over to ham it up for the camera before climbing out.

A quick shake and she was off, climbing back over the fence. However, she was back within 30 minutes for another dip.
