Dumpster Divers....Raccoon Rescue

These little rascals got left behind after the family raided the garbage dumpster during the night last week.  They couldn't get out.  Jim propped a board in the dumpster so they could climb out.  Two of this trio were back this morning to the delight of our guests.  Everyone was heading out to the dumpster to take a peek.  Later, when it was quiet, I opened one of the flaps and propped a board.  I stepped away and waited.  I could here them chattering away in there and then the first little head popped up, followed by the second.  They weren't sure how to get down from the dumpster and then one of them grabbed hold of a gate pole, expecting to climb up and out of the enclosure, but to it's surprise, started sliding down.  The sibling followed suit and slid into the other causing them to land in a heap on the ground.  They were just about to head out the open gate when they saw me, so they turned and scurried under the fence.  Jim said they should be big enough to get out by themselves in a couple of weeks.
