[LMB] (chat) baby raccoons!

[Lois McMaster Bujold]

So...

    My reward for taking my health walk today at Bredesen Park (a 
s/w/a/m/p wetland preserve about a mile west of my house) was to 
encounter three fluffy baby raccoons.   I was picking my way among the 
dozen or so fuzzy baby Canada Geese, now about half-grown and beginning 
to look teenagerish although not sporting tattoos yet, trying not to 
step on them or their by-products, being hissed at in rather futile 
attempt at defense by their parent geese (I can so understand), and 
spotted these three little bundles of fur retreating into the verge 
between the path and the pond.  Each about the size of my two fists, 
counting the fur.

    If there is any baby mammal cuter (or fluffier) than a baby raccoon, 
I can't bring it to mind just now.  Except three of 'em.
