this is the blind Mama Raccoon again, at our front patio fountain and bird bath, and this time she has her baby with her! She might have had 2 youngsters there, but am not sure, as they are hard to see hiding behind the leaves, plus the babies are more timid than the mother. I was so hoping she wouldn't have babies this year, being that she's blind, but here they are, at least, here's one. Now I see why she's been so thirsty and coming here to drink all the time, as she's nursing the babies.

well, it's now September. Have seen the blind Mother raccoon a couple times lately, but sadly, the baby hasn't been seen for a long time. I don't know what happened to the poor little thing.

Such a touching photo. Poor mama is blind but she is trying so hard to raise her babies.

WOW!! what a neat shot.

This is a real touching story. Maybe your garden will provide a safe haven for them and even with her disability, hopefully she can adjust her life to find ways to protect herself and her young. My fingers are crossed!!

thankyou, Beverly, --yes, it seems she's doing quite well with the baby, who stays right close to her as they are walking around. Maybe he'll guide her when he gets a bit older.

Hi Lorraine, thanks for the caring message. Yes, I do get concerned about her and the baby now too. Sure hope all turns out well for them, poor things. A lot against both of them, am afraid.

That baby looks so cute, so she has survived, I hope she does ok, but it must be a worry for you with her being blind.
