I am a retired RCMP Officer living in a rural setting in Nova Scotia, Canada. I spend my time enjoying nature and feeding my furry friends, the raccoons.

A man spends a Saturday evening feeding a group of neighborhood raccoons, including one he calls Bandit. Between feeding the animals treats like hot dogs and cookies, he shares personal updates about selling equipment, attending a family burial, and chatting with his granddaughter.
Well, here we are on a Saturday night.
Oh, come on now.
My God, you're getting mean.
That's Bandit Brown, the other fella.
Alright.
And to my dear wife, I finished all the whippersnapping tonight.
So, it's all done.
Anyway.
Okay.
Who's waiting for me?
Huh? You coming over?
Come on.
Here, Bandit.
Here, girl.
You're not saying the magic word in front of her tonight.
Because if I do, she won't eat any of the hot dogs.
She's so fussy.
She wants what she wants.
Don't you? Huh?
You want what you want.
So, I'm coming out every night now, because the weather's good.
It was cool today.
Well, it was warm, like 75.
And the air conditioning kicked on for a little bit.
It didn't stay on long, though.
Oh, stop it. Here.
Let that little fella have one.
You going to come over?
Here you go.
I sold my work lights today.
I put them on the Facebook.
And they were bought up right away.
My doctor's brother-in-law came and got them.
He sent me a message.
I mean, I only offered 25 bucks for them.
They were all yellow, coming in a big stand.
There was two on them.
And they were a good price.
I never used them.
That's why I got rid of it.
There she is.
I should get rid of that big grinder.
I got the stand and everything with it.
Here.
You let them fellas up now.
You hear me?
We got no garden party going on.
You ready for another one?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Don't mind if I do, he said.
So, we had to bury my brother-in-law today.
He died earlier.
And they had what we call a spring burial.
And Ange and I were both at the funeral.
And so, they had the burial today.
So, my sister Kathleen came up from Maneganish.
And it was her twin sister's husband that died.
Kathleen already had hers.
Hers died five years ago, Duncan.
And my spouse died in 2003.
So, it was almost 25 years ago.
So, here you go.
You ready?
Ready, Freddy?
And we're not mentioning that word.
We know the word.
We can't say it.
Because if I do, she'll stop eating these things.
And she'll start demanding them.
But I had them sitting there ready.
You ready for another one?
Here you go.
I was talking to Jillian today.
And my granddaughter Penelope.
We go face-to-face on there.
And she keeps in touch with Angie, too.
You ready?
Come on.
I've got to go down and feed Angie's cat.
Here.
Selby.
She won't come out.
She came out last night.
And she came out and let me pet her.
And then she went back in the house again.
She has a little heated house down there.
So, she's never cold.
There.
One fellow.
He's leaving.
He's heading up.
Is that Bandit?
I think that might have been Bandit left.
I had no C-O-O-K-I-E-S.
Yeah, you're good.
Here.
What to do with you?
Here.
Come on.
There.
All right, I'll throw it down here for you.
Here you go.
Look.
Don't tell me you can spell.
Can you spell?
Do you know what C-O-O-K-I-E-S is?
Huh?
Yeah, they're...
See, they don't want them.
Now they want them.
I guess they can spell.
Well, you guys know how to spell.
Look, you're not going to touch it, are you?
Look.
Oh, he took it.
You want one?
No.
He said,
You know what I want, Dad, is C-O-O-K-I-E-S.
Yes.
Who wants cookies?
Huh?
Hey, Bandit, we got cookies.
She left.
Oh, there's a raccoon down on the ground.
Two on the ground.
Three on the ground.
Just a minute.
I'm going to get some cookies for you.
Oh, you're going to take that?
All right.
See, he's not eating.
He doesn't want them.
He don't want them.
Here, one for you.
Here you go.
One for you.
All right, I'll get some cookies.
I'll throw these up to the...
Oh, stop it.
Throw these up to these fellas.
They're running around in the grass.
They're chasing them.
There you go.
I'll probably grab one and took off to the woods.
Okay.
Cookies.
I've seen them ravens here today.
I had raccoons here at 3 o'clock,
and those ravens showed up,
and I yelled at them.
They all took off.
Boy, they're something smart.
They can rascal or bandit.
I got cookies.
She's put out because I didn't give her one.
Yeah.
There you go.
She don't eat them anyway.
She only eats the cream out of them.
She put cream all over my pants,
and I had to get them washed.
There you go.
If you don't want a cookie,
there's hot dogs there.
Look.
Are you going to take the cookie?
Oh, yeah.
I'll open it up and eat the cream.
She knows the sound they make when they hit the...
Come on, bandit.
She don't eat them anyway.
She only eats the cream.
She's got a sweet tooth.
Come on.
There's a fellow there.
He didn't want a cookie.
He wants a hot dog.
Come on, bandit.
Come on.
Quite a few down on the lawn there.
And somebody was asking me
if we do the peanuts and stuff.
Yeah.
I put some non-solid peanuts out.
They get them at Walmart.
You get a big bag of them.
What else do I get from them?
They eat pepperonis.
And if I do a hamburger helper,
I put some out here for them,
and I have a tin foil container for them.
Oh, you're having a great time, aren't you?
There you go.
You got a cookie.
Oh, bandit.
Here, come on.
Now what's the chance of me hitting that hole again?
Come on, bandit.
There, she got it.
She got it.
Okay, I'm going to throw the rest of these hot dogs down there
and a couple of cookies for her.
You going to come up, girl?
You going to come up?
You guys let me by here for a minute?
There.
Run them back and forth down there.
Bandit, come on.
Here.
Why don't you get another one?
She's eating them.
She's eating the whole cookie.
Aren't you?
Huh?
There, that's the hot dog gone.
Get that out.
Bandit, you want another one?
Here you go.
I'm getting them laying right beside you.
You guys got lots of cookies up here.
Bandit.
Show me that pretty face.
Huh?
What you doing down there, girl?
Huh?
Oh, that one's a little too far for you.
There you go.
Bandit, look.
Look, you missed that one.
There you go.
You're getting up there now.
All right, that's it for feeding.
I'll put some grapes out after.
So she got put out because I didn't put them out right away.
Well, that's just too bad.
Pretty bad when a raccoon demands.
What's demands on you?
Right, Charlie?
They don't remind me of walking around here.
Do you?
Huh?
Did you get a cookie?
You find one?
Oh, you got one there.
Okay.
See, the other lights come on when...
You don't need to run.
I'm not going after you.
I'm just going to show what's down here.
We got four raccoons down here.
Yeah.
Look at them all.
You guys get enough to eat?
Did you?
And don't forget, they've been eating since 3 o'clock.
Here's another one showing up, huh?
What you going to do?
Come upstairs?
Yeah.
Yeah, they've been eating since 3 o'clock.
There he is, the big fella coming up.
Come on up.
Come on.
There you go.
Grab a cookie.
Yes, I put about three or four pounds of hot dogs out at 3 o'clock.
There was three or four of them here.
All right, I'm going in.
Look at him waiting, though.
He's watching that door.
Get in there.
Get.
You better get.
Conner cat, you're not to be trusted.
Huh?
You're not to be trusted.
No.
You don't get your bed lunch until after.
Okay?
You get your bed lunch after.
I just fed them an hour ago.
I have to take hers down first and do the litter box.
I've got two litter boxes I've got to do yet.
Oh, my.
Then I can sit and relax.
All right, I'm going to say goodnight then, and we shall see you fellows later.
One more thing.
Since she got all that hair up, she can jump up in that cupboard, no problem at all.
Can't you, Charlotte?
Huh?
Charlotte, are you going to talk?
You talking, Charlotte?
Are you?
Watch her.
Charlotte, are you talking?
Oh, you're talking, are you?
What are you saying?
What?
What is it?
You going to jump up?
Show everybody how you jump up.
Huh?
Look at him watching.
He doesn't want nothing to do with her.
Okay, I'm going to take off, and we'll see you later.
Bye-bye.
