This thread is part of the ongoing saga of Heidi and company, the raccoons who live in the forest behind my house and frequent my wildlife buffet.

This is part of what we generally think of as the winter lull, the time when the kits born the prior summer have reached their adult size and have been pushed out of the 'fold' by their moms, the time when the moms usually rest up a bit before starting their new families in spring/summer to repeat the cycle once again. A few days ago, however, I learned that Heidi is already showing signs of carrying her as yet unborn 08 kits. The winter lull may have to be cut short this year with a new clan on the way so soon.

Below is a pic of Dennis (the Menace), one of the now grown 07 kits. Dennis is enjoying a Pumpkin Spice Yogurt left from the holidays.
