A group of baby raccoons rescued after their mother abandoned them. They were later rehabilitated and returned to the wild.


My Tuesday to Saturday gig is working as a technician for a pest control company. Usually, I just run around and kill things in an Old Testament kinda way. Lots of bugs. But every once in a while, I get to save something- like these absolutely adorable raccoon pups. They were abandonded by their mother, and so I spent a good part of my day on Saturday arranging someplace where they will be cared for, and eventually released out into the wild. So, off to Critter Care in Langley they go. There were four of them, and they were the cutest little things you've ever seen! These shots were taken after they had been given some electrolytes, and been cleaned up and given some warmth. They're doing well now. Thank you very much for viewing my work, and thank you VERY MUCH for almost 1,250,000 views!! Yikes!! That’s a whole lotta lookin’!! It’s very humbling, and I’m very appreciative of all the support I receive. I’m glad so many people enjoy my work. :-) Please Like me on FaceBook If you like my work and would like to speak with me about it, please email me at
