Balcony Racoon

This raccoon's given me the run-around. I moved to from Paris, ON to Toronto in the middle of the winter in January 2016. When walking through a schoolyard one night, I saw what I thought was a mediums-sized stray dog. After convincing my boyfriend to investigate and potentially save the dog, we decided to approach it. At that moment, the dog approached a fence and began climbing. I couldn't comprehend how a dog would climb a chain link fence! It was at that point I realized that it wasn't a dog, but a raccoon. It was then that I realized that I'm the stereotypical small-town girl trying to make it in a big city, mistaking raccoons for lost dogs and trying to save them. Since then, the same raccoon has been visiting on my third floor balcony almost weekly, reminding me of how much I've changed since moving to the city.
