LMAO! bold little things.
I remember one time when we were staying at Black Butte Ranch in central Oregon, the raccoons came up on the deck. We opened the door and gave them grapes and stuff. They took it right out of our hands. Their favorite was marshmallows. And they washed everything in the dog's water bowl. ROTFL!!!
BTW, yup, raccoons can carry rabies, though it's a pretty small chance of actually encountering a raccoon with it. The bigger danger is distemper. If you have raccoons around, be sure your dogs are protected against distemper.
