Bogie and the raccoon

At left, Bogie gets up close and personal with our raccoon. Every night, around 10 p.m., the as-yet unnamed raccoon drops in for a little Meow Mix and some company from the cats.

Often, they just sit and look at each other. Note: the perspective is slightly off here, but not by much. The raccoon is actually a little bit bigger than Bogie. No Photoshopping. They really do hang out.




Here's a closer shot of the big guy. No, that's not a zoom lens. I'm literally two feet from the raccoon. Look closely and you'll see a screen between us. Not very smart, I know, but I am a trained journalist, darnit. I can't pass up a good shot. Just as long as I don't end up like the guy in that Werner Herzog film, everything's cool.
