For those of you that have followed my blog for a couple of years knows I have feed the coons out of self defense for years and years!!! Money is very tight for us now and we just don't have enough to feed the coons and a big dog so I made a deal with the money maker in this family, TOM that I would stop feeding them food that we had to buy!!!! POOR coons!!!! Some have been coming for years!!! So now that we are eating very healthy and buying organic food from mostly the farmer that grows it I have lots of tops--- lots of greens that I would throw out to the compost bin. So I thought I'll cook those greens and potato skins and such as that and add a little rice and make them a little stew. So now I know you all will think I am crazy and I probably am but that is what I am doing so that the coons still have something good to eat and it is probably better for them than dog food anyway!!! I know I am doing something that I don't have to do!!!! But I have grown to care a great deal for these wild animals and I know they depend on me to feed them SO I am !!!!!
Zoie wants to get too them but of course she can't!!! Bambi in her first years here wanted to get to them too!!! Amanda wanted to two!!!! They both got use to the coons after years of seeing them!!!!
Love coming your way, Zoie & Fern
The coons look like they're enjoying their chow, Fern. We bet it's delicious and they'll be even healthier than before!

Hey Fern!
ReplyDeleteWow, you sound just like my Mom! She likes to be sure there is plenty of leftover bird seed every day for them to have. Then she tosses fruit & veggie scraps out for them. I'm like most pooches and would just like to bash them, but I do quietly have to admit they are cute climbing all over my deck. Shhhhhh don't tell anyone I said that! BOL Yours are cute too! I'm sure they are grateful for your care...all critters deserve love and kindness.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
I'm sure the raccoons appreciate the food you're setting out for them. You're very kind to make sure they have a meal...organic no less. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Fern, if caring about things that other folks wouldn't bother with or having some compassion for creatures is crazy, then the world could use about a half-million more people like you. We don't think that you're crazy. We think that you'd be a great neighbor. But the wild things have to live on your side of the fence, okay?
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness...doesn't that make you nervous. I've never seen one up close. BUT I will say this...you are one creative lady and very very thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteHow creative - and thrifty! I'm sure the coons appreciate it too!

I just LOVE the pictures of the coons. I am glad that you put this up. I had been wondering and wondering about your Raccoon Furends. I am SURE they LOVE the New Offerings!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Fern, you have racoons at your place? How cool is that. We love your photos. They are lucky to have you. Hugs to Zoie. No worries, and love, Carol (and Stella and Rory)
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Fern. I'm glad you are using greens to feed the coons--I know it means a lot to you.
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, Fern!!!
ReplyDeleteAww.. they are so cute Fern! I'd probably do the same thing...
ReplyDeleteYou have such a kind heart. :)
