Sir, don't worry about us. You do what you need to do for you and the fur babies. We just tag along willingly. No strings. How rude they are calling you on the phone, wow,!!,,. Tell those negative nellys to amscray. We just are grateful to you for sharing. Please don't stress over these opinionated ninnys
Oh, please don't worry about benches marked up by wet raccoon paws, as soon as you wipe it clean, they'll muddy it up next time around. Anyone who has fed raccoons for a while knows about wet, muddy paws ! Even though you may not want to change your phone #, it may be necessary for your own peace of mind. That way, you'ii have more control over incoming phone calls. As for Buddy's ups and downs, you have no control over that, he's wild. Geesh, can't believe people were calling you about Buddy! He's not a pet ! Please take care of yourself, we love and appreciate you 🌹
Yes! I also think the world of you! I watch your vids every night I love them! I am grateful for you I love every single one of your vids. Ignore them idiots! Keep making these vids 😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
I guess his fans are out in force pestering him. He has a lot to do and while i understand why people are fascinated we need to cut him a break and let him do his thing and be grateful that he shares this with us. What he's giving us is a gift, we ought to be grateful and not pester him.
I’m just shocked that people have the nerve to call you. It’s a privilege that you allow us into your life to see and enjoy the raccoons. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I really don't see why your bench being dirty is anyone's business I'm sorry they called you about it if you want to sit on a dirty bench go right ahead James I'm with you God bless
Omg that’s awful! I just read your message an I can’t believe someone would call or tell him his bench was dirty!! Hello it’s outside wtheck!! My gosh I’m just so happy he shares these videos with us! It’s makes my day to watch one!
There's plenty of mentally ill people out there. They complain and react on other peoples things even though their own life is in shambles. Just don't pay attention to them. Before internet, these people didn't have a voice.
Who cares if the bench is dirty, he’s got 25 raccoons coming and going all night long you can’t expect it to stay clean like get a brain idiots, leave this man alone. some people really need to get s life and Mind their own business. This poor man is doing more than most and doesn’t deserve nonsense bull crap from others.

James don’t listen to those stupid trolls. They are not human beings. You just keep doing what you do. You’re a great man for what you do. Your commitment and dedication deserves a lot of credit and admiration. Thank you for looking after these precious babies.
Jim you are a great man you help so many people with these vlogs of the raccoons 🦝 and telling us about your day and your music🤗 I suffer from major depression and major anxiety/panic disorder that at times and especially lately it can be debilitating so coming on here and other channels such as Pet Goose George It honestly helps I’ve learned a lot about wild animals form Bob and Pet Goose George and yourself. I definitely would get your number unlisted It’s horrible how people can be especially in the very uncertain time’s we are all dealing with... PLEASE EVERYONE HAVE RESPECT AND BE KiND OR PLEASE LEAVE THE CHANNEL IF YOU CANNOT
May God bless you Jim you are a kind hearted Angel for these raccoons. If people don’t have the decency to see that you are doing this out if love then I say they need to get a life.
Sorry Jim that people can be so intrusive. And that some can be so uneducated. I used to rescue iguanas and yes they whip and snap at you. But they are wild animals. You accept that or not. You are a good man. People are not going to see them as wild. I am sorry been there too.
You deserve a vacation, James. The deer are beautiful though. And who cares if the bench is dirty. Good grief! Some people just have to complain. Thank you, James!
That bench is the bench of love. If you cant see beyond the dirt you wont feel the love that comes out of that bench and warms the heart of two dozen fur babies and millions of people around the world. Thank you Jim
You say you are not perfect, well in these Racoons eyes you are ,,and nearly perfect to all of us watching you, take it easy now and again, we love you Jim 😘
I cannot believe that they...call him and ...said horible thing ... I dont understand english perfectly .... but that calls seems to affecte him .... I hope they will not kill his racoons because de bendh is durty or...thing stupide like that
I also want to say people have no business calling you unless you say it's ok to do so. And thank you for sharing with us your life and the raccoons. It's a huge part of my night every night to watch your videos and I do appreciate all you do.
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch - this is adorable!!! Oh my gosh - Buddy sat on your shoulders! You do such a great job with your videos. We all enjoy them so much. Thank you Mr Jim!
Jim, I cannot believe how many feedings you provide...yikes! When do you sleep😴 you're amazing! Such commitment and love for these little fur kids! It's a lot of work, so I have to say it again..you are amazing! 🥰
Oh Jim, please stop addressing the trolls. It's what they want. I've watched you for several months and you never used to carry on about it so much. Please just know there are thousands of us who love what you do. Not sure why you keep reading. Let your moderators take care of it, or for haven's sake disable comments. No need to explain yourself. Over and over. As much as I love watching, I think it's time you have a break. Tend to your sweet indoor fur babes for a few months and get all ready for spring!
Don't give these trolls the time of day, Jim. You're probably one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet when it comes to raccoons so what can these idiots tell you? You keep on keeping on. You're videos make a lot of people happy. All the best!
Ok, I have my coffee, my peanut butter toast, banana....I decided to eat with the raccoons...I don't like to eat alone😊❤🦝...Love your channel thank you for sharing with us...
I just get a kick out of all of this. I’m so glad to see you James with your entire family of raccoons and kitty cats! I’m busy at home with my husband and kids so I can’t imagine how busy you are! God bless you
Don’t listen to the negative comments. We love you just the way you are Jim, from Irvine, CA Always enjoy seeing the cats too at the end of the night. 😊
And me and my 4 children love watching your vids every day! I have a 8,12,16 and 18 year old they love your vids as do i🥰🥰 don’t listen to them fools ! Keep doing these vids ! I can see you enjoy them! As I would too 😍 I do have 1 that comes around I feed her cat food every night! But I have to be inside the house for he or she to come eat! But I do have one in the house 🤣🤣 she was alone and dien when I found her so skinny no energy she was so small her eyes weren’t even open yet.we kept her to give her a chance she’s doing great now! Plays with our cats and dogs! Their is no rehaber in my county .only one that takes in birds.so now I am currently in the process of getting my wild animal rehab license so I can help these guys!! Their are so many babies left without mother’s because they get hit on the rds. Thank you so much for helping those guys 🥰🥰😇😇😇 enjoy your day! Stay heathy! Good luck at your check up today!! From us in Huron county Michigan!!
@@raymondchandler697 thank you! Raccoons are such misunderstood animals! They are sweet! If you treat them good they will treat you good back! They are smart funny not to mention cute!the one I have plays with my dogs
@@raymondchandler697 the one I have plays with my dogs and cats! I would like to keep her! As I am afraid to release her. I’m not going to lie. When I first found her. I knew nothing of raccoons. And they days/weeks went by I did some research. You have to teach them to fish and catch bugs .things like that! Wich I didn’t know at the the time.so I’m afraid I release her she will not know how to survive on her own.but I do have some knowledge of raccoons now! Also you shouldn’t release just 1 . You can but shouldn’t. Should release 2 or more together.as they live in family’s their is also raccoon language.so if you release 2 or more they will teach each other that language. If you release just 1 they will more n likely live alone the rest of ther life.also raccoons only live 2 to 5 years in the wild. But they live 20 or more years in captivity.should I keep her or release her? She also has been to a vet twice for vaccinations!so if I keep her she’s up to date on vaccinations! Also if I release her she will not get distemper as she had been vaccinated! Sorry for the long message! I just wanted to put those things out their for people who say you shouldn’t keep raccoons.as I said. You shouldn’t but can release one..as it may live alone the rest of its life..also if in captivity they can live 20 plus years! But when I get my wild life rehabilitation license I know now that I have to each it things and release more then 1 at a time! Again sorry for the long message! Also thank you!!
Please please please--- stop calling Jim's phone! he has to get rest sometime! if you have any thoughts of concerns, put it in the comments to the attention of the moderators! they will handle the questions! Jim has enough to deal with without having to answer the same questions or trying to weed through calls for ones that impact his life directly! enough people please give him respect!! just enjoy the videos and leave it at that!-- Thank you moderators for all you do to help Jim out! I know you have one heck of a job keeping things civil in the comments!! HUGS!!
@@karenhunter8095 - that the exact reason i posted my comment! I am very upset! I come to Jim's videos for the peace and love raccoons can give ( i was blessed to have raised 6 so far in my life) and seeing Jim upset really does not sit well with me.. He is a man to be respected above all! this started as a promise and now its what he loves...
I'm so happy I've found this channel. My grandpa fed some local racoons before he passed, and you remind me of him. Thank you for sharing your kind heart with us, and them. Ignore any trolls- they'll always have something to whine about. Everyone else, and your racoon friends especially, love you.
James please don't acknowledge these trolls. They are just miserable people that try to bully others. You are a very special person that is talented and gifted wit a heart as big as Canada. We really appreciate you and all you do for your indoor fur babies and the outdoor ones. They should be spending thier time doing what you do. They would be so much happier. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Take care of you as well. You bring your viewers so much joy.
Many people have never set foot out in the country or lived country life. They have completely unrealistic expectations of what it's about or how you live. People are so stupid.
James, you've brought my teenager and me so many smiles and lots of joy. I really appreciate your kind words when my ex husband died on October 2. We were still close friends and he loved our 22 year old daughter. Four months later on February 2" I found my husband deceased in our living room. I have two daughters with no father, but we really enjoy watching you daily! Thank you for all that you do, God Bless you, from Sarah, Katie, and me Brenda!💖
James sometimes I'm so envious of you being able to have all these raccoons on your patio but then I see you sometimes overwhelmed because of all you have to do then I feel real bad especially when all the people talk bad to you you take such good care of your raccoons I can tell how much you care about them I just wanted you to know I appreciate all you do for them I wish there were more people like you anyway God bless you for all you do❣
I grew up in the NE of USA. I now live in So. Cal. When I shut my eyes and listen to the kiddos munching, I hear rain dropping. It helps me feel calm. Just like when I watch you and the kids! Love you so
There is nothing more beautiful than man connecting with, and understanding wildlife. The Racoon Restaurant is literally the best show on youtube. Stay safe 😘
Jim, don’t give those ignorant people a second thought..... you my friend are doing God’s work taking care of His little fur babies.... you have well earned your place in heaven..... those people there on the other hand... well?? Ty for all you do know that you are loved and appreciated.❤️🤗🙏🏻
Jim, you are such a kind and caring man. These fur babies are so lucky to have a person like you to care for them. Your deck is probably the only place of safety and solace where they know they are safe, and will be fed and cared for.
I just want to say every day, I love Scooter! He’s such a good boy, poor buddy just wants to be WOODY’s friend. He looked so disappointed when he hissed at him.
IDK why anyone would give you a hard time. Maybe it's how they avoid facing their own problems. You're awesome Jim! Your love for animals is wonderful. You're doing the best you can, just like the rest of us.
You are a special person. I love the raccoons. I have squirrels here. As many as 18. They aren't as friendly as your friends, but they don't run as fast as they used to. You are great! Thanks!
Watching Jim and the racoons is one of the joys of life. Please don't disturb his sparse free time with phone calls, he needs some free time. And have some respect for him and all he does.
I am a therapist. So many people have lived wasted lives and find themselves empty and in despair. They have no passions. This man is such a great example of finding his passion. I’m sure he seems silly to those living in loneliness and despair. Lots of people would be shooting these raccoons with a .22 trying to get rid of them. Trapping and poisoning. But Jim has found passion where others find negativity. I am a huge fan. God bless you, sir. To me you are a rock star.
Hi Mr Blackwood. I usually don't comment but today you seem as though you needed a bit of a pick-me-up. I just wanted to send you a huge thank you and warm wishes from sunny South Africa. Your channel is about the only place I get to see raccoons up close. They are so cute ! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Eating breakfast with the raccoons and your stories has become a real morning treat.
I enjoy watching you feed these furballs and i appreciate it so much that u take time of ur busy day to upload these videos. I say simply ignore the trolls or turn off the comments and don't complicate your passion with frivolous shanagans. There are people in the world that have nothing else better to do but complain or think that everyone wants to hear there 2 cents. I love ur videos and I can not imagine ending my day any other way but watching these furballs stuffing there face!!!! Thanks again 😁.
@@kathleenharris6124 they have homes in the woods! They live in hollowed out trees and in dens/burrows! They have thick coats! They stay warm in the winter! I don’t think this man needs to put houses out for theses cute little guys! I honestly don’t think they would stay in the dog houses🤣🤣🤣🤣 they would more n likely just go back in the woods!🥰 but not not a bad idea tho I just don’t think it would do any good!! I know a little about raccoons! I rehab them! I have 1 in my house right now playing with my dog!! It’s good they play with my dog and cats! It helps them learn with socializing! Raccoons are very social animals! They actually live with family! Kind of like humans lol 😂
God bless this kind soul. A true gentleman and nature protector. We are all lucky to have such a kind and nice content on UA-cam. Thank you Sir. We appreciate it.
The only ones allowed to complain are the raccoons and they look very happy with the menu at Jim’s diner. Hopefully you still find joy in this and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. Cheers. 👍👏👍👏
Mr. Blackwood, Please don’t let stupid, petty people spoil your life. You’re doing a fantastic job. So many people admire you and all the work you do providing these beautiful animals with nutrition and stability in an unstable world. Not to mention your great musical talents. Please don’t let these common, boring people who pick apart and find stuff wrong with anything and everything get to you. They are not worth it. Just sit back and enjoy all of the appreciation you get from all the rest of us. You’re a great guy. Thank you so much for caring .
Such cute balls of fur!! This would be my happy place! I’m also addicted to watching CritterVision on UA-cam. You are an awesome person, keep doing what you love!
Thank You for sharing another evening with the racoons. I have wstched the videos since beginning of summer and watched the babies grow and grow and what a blessing to enjoy them. Thank You for taking the time and all your work behind the scene for shopping and taking up the stairs and cleaning grapes and making sandwich and cutting up many pounds of hotdogs and so much more. I appreciate all you do for us to be able to share this experience with You. Have a wonderful day. Take Care Cindy from Ohio USA
The little bandits just want to come inside and cuddle with you, Miss Charlotte, and Connor Cat on the bed! Can you imagine? Sweet Raccoon Dreams, Jim! Sweet Dreams Marvelous Moderators! 😴 Sweet Dreams Churchville, Nova Scotia Raccoons! 😴 Sweet Dreams Raccoon Whisperer Nation! 😴
Thank you for sharing your channel an your videos! I love to see how so many people love Gods precious creatures an how giving an caring you are to them. It warms my heart to watch your videos an makes me happy!! God bless an hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Thank you for sharing!!!! I enjoy watching you with the raccoons , you make me smile 😊.I think you do a good job. Keep up the good work you do with these loveble raccoons. These babies are so fortunate to have you in their lives I know you enjoy them too. 😊
They are just so much fun to watch every night...please know that most of us have no complaints whatsoever. Just grateful to see them all and the way you interact with them. Thank you so much!
We love the videos!!! Don't listen to the people who don't. You're doing a good thing for the raccoons. you've been doing it for 20 years so no sense in stopping now
What is wrong with people complaining about how you do things while you care for your daily visitors? Get a life people. Either enjoy what Jim is doing or find someplace else to spread your foolishness! Keep up the good work, Jim. You give so many of us such joy. I feed my 12 visitors nightly and have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Woody is a BEAUTIFUL raccoon!! ____ THANK YOU for keeping the camera on him a bit longer & getting those awesome still shots of him last night!! .........................He looks so much better & healthier now, than when he first arrived.
I don’t understand. I simply don’t understand why people think they have to be critics and can’t just enjoy the content. I for one enjoy watching these videos and get a kick out of seeing someone being that kind to wild animals and wanting to share them with the world. It doesn’t matter that Jim gets the names mixed up on occasion. If you have more than one child how many times have you called one of them the others name? 🤨 Jim you’re doing a fantastic job giving those of us that really enjoy the raccoons and cats. Personally I’m more of a dog person but adopted a neighborhood cat that was starving. He stays primarily outside and my westie just tolerates him. My husband and I did away with our landline because of spammers. What a relief! Stay well, be happy and PLEASE don’t stop filming. Thank you. 🤗
People are stupide... they cannot do anything better than he do..and they criticiz...with is inacceptable... Hope Jim is not affected by that stupide people
I think you are perfect, Jim! You do a fantastic job! People are idiots some times! Pay them no mind! You just keep on doing what you are doing. We all love you for taking care of these little guys. You make my evening watching these videos. I love their beautiful little faces. God bless you, Jim!👍👍💞
My hats off to you for all you do.... not only the day to day chores in taking care of the racoons, but you keep an immaculate house with all the love and care you shower on Conner and Charlotte. Even your shed sparkles!!!? You are a Saint 😘❤️💙
I wish Jim wouldn't get stressed over trolls, intrusive people, and all the questions he gets on FB. I understand his venting though :) Bless Jim for even trying to keep up with his FB questions. If they really want an answer they can put it in the comments here and one of the fans will answer. Looking up his phone number and calling is just psycho. He should get an unlisted number.
What Disgusting Narcissistic Buffoons wouldn't see the Unconditional Love you have for your Precious furbabies!!!!! How MANY HAVE THEY FED?????? DON'T YOU EVER DARE SPEAK TO THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!!!!!
I wish people would leave you alone and just enjoy your videos. You are doing every thing right. You should not have to explain yourself to anyone. Your awesome!
I can’t imagine calling someone I saw on UA-cam. People are nuts. Leave this nice man alone
I agree, they have no life to do that, so crazy. SMH.
Jim needs to have the phone number blocked 🚫

He managed to bring them all to the same size.
He doesn't owe any of us anything

Thankyou ❗
I’m just shocked that people have the nerve to call you. It’s a privilege that you allow us into your life to see and enjoy the raccoons. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I'd bet cash money it's mainly Facebook folks. Another reason not to do Facebook or Twitter.
They are so, cute
Facebook- or Twitter-Users?
Please stop answering to everyone! We are here because we love you, and don’t forget it. You have nobody to prove yourself to. Much love from Ontario!

They may be wild animals , but they know enough to not bite the hand that feeds them !!!
Sorry Jim that people can be so intrusive. And that some can be so uneducated. I used to rescue iguanas and yes they whip and snap at you. But they are wild animals. You accept that or not. You are a good man. People are not going to see them as wild. I am sorry been there too.
I noticed they eat certain foods with their heads up like grapes ,but hotdogs their heads are down
Not only do they consider you one of the pack James, I really believe they consider you the leader of the pack!☝️🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝

@@raymondchandler697 thank you! Raccoons are such misunderstood animals! They are sweet! If you treat them good they will treat you good back! They are smart funny not to mention cute!the one I have plays with my dogs
@@raymondchandler697 the one I have plays with my dogs and cats! I would like to keep her! As I am afraid to release her. I’m not going to lie. When I first found her. I knew nothing of raccoons. And they days/weeks went by I did some research. You have to teach them to fish and catch bugs .things like that! Wich I didn’t know at the the time.so I’m afraid I release her she will not know how to survive on her own.but I do have some knowledge of raccoons now! Also you shouldn’t release just 1 . You can but shouldn’t. Should release 2 or more together.as they live in family’s their is also raccoon language.so if you release 2 or more they will teach each other that language. If you release just 1 they will more n likely live alone the rest of ther life.also raccoons only live 2 to 5 years in the wild. But they live 20 or more years in captivity.should I keep her or release her? She also has been to a vet twice for vaccinations!so if I keep her she’s up to date on vaccinations! Also if I release her she will not get distemper as she had been vaccinated! Sorry for the long message! I just wanted to put those things out their for people who say you shouldn’t keep raccoons.as I said. You shouldn’t but can release one..as it may live alone the rest of its life..also if in captivity they can live 20 plus years! But when I get my wild life rehabilitation license I know now that I have to each it things and release more then 1 at a time! Again sorry for the long message! Also thank you!!
They all look so pretty and fat and ready for winter you did a great job Jim God bless you
I thought that sound in the beginning was rain/hail....but it’s the sound of raccoons eating😯
I swear Buddy would sit on your head if you let him!😂
🤣🤣🤣Wouldn't that be a sight!
Haha if he did that I’d lose it seeing this nice guy and a Raccoon chilling out on his head
Awesome that Sammy lets you pet him. Also love how when they eat grapes their heads tilt back..
Please please please--- stop calling Jim's phone! he has to get rest sometime! if you have any thoughts of concerns, put it in the comments to the attention of the moderators! they will handle the questions! Jim has enough to deal with without having to answer the same questions or trying to weed through calls for ones that impact his life directly! enough people please give him respect!! just enjoy the videos and leave it at that!--
Thank you moderators for all you do to help Jim out! I know you have one heck of a job keeping things civil in the comments!!
HUGS!!
Well said 😊HUGS back at you ❤
This comment should be pinned and highlighted. Very well put. Thank you 😊
❤️
You have just said everything I have been wanting to say and probably in a much nicer way! I am pretty upset that this keeps happening actually.
@@karenhunter8095 - that the exact reason i posted my comment! I am very upset! I come to Jim's videos for the peace and love raccoons can give ( i was blessed to have raised 6 so far in my life) and seeing Jim upset really does not sit well with me.. He is a man to be respected above all! this started as a promise and now its what he loves...
I'm so happy I've found this channel. My grandpa fed some local racoons before he passed, and you remind me of him. Thank you for sharing your kind heart with us, and them. Ignore any trolls- they'll always have something to whine about. Everyone else, and your racoon friends especially, love you.
James please don't acknowledge these trolls. They are just miserable people that try to bully others. You are a very special person that is talented and gifted wit a heart as big as Canada. We really appreciate you and all you do for your indoor fur babies and the outdoor ones. They should be spending thier time doing what you do. They would be so much happier. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Take care of you as well. You bring your viewers so much joy.
So many raccoons!!!!! Wow! Cuteness overload * squeals * ❤️🦝🦝🦝🦝😂
I can't believe that Mr Blackwood gets complaints about his bench getting dirty. Why can't people just enjoy the show and stuff the complaints.
Its the silliest childish remarks. How dare them DEMEAN James .
Because they don't have nun better to do.
Many people have never set foot out in the country or lived country life. They have completely unrealistic expectations of what it's about or how you live. People are so stupid.
James, you've brought my teenager and me so many smiles and lots of joy. I really appreciate your kind words when my ex husband died on October 2. We were still close friends and he loved our 22 year old daughter. Four months later on February 2" I found my husband deceased in our living room. I have two daughters with no father, but we really enjoy watching you daily! Thank you for all that you do, God Bless you, from Sarah, Katie, and me Brenda!💖
Huge crowd Jim! Thank you for all that you do!!! I wish people wouldn’t call you. I just love you and enjoy your stories.
James sometimes I'm so envious of you being able to have all these raccoons on your patio but then I see you sometimes overwhelmed because of all you have to do then I feel real bad especially when all the people talk bad to you you take such good care of your raccoons I can tell how much you care about them I just wanted you to know I appreciate all you do for them I wish there were more people like you anyway God bless you for all you do❣
Hi Mr. James, Connor Cat, Charlotte and the Sugarfeet Raccoons. God bless each of you.
I thought is was raining 🌧 or hailing out. All that crunching sounds like hail.
I know!!! Lol 😆
I grew up in the NE of USA. I now live in So. Cal. When I shut my eyes and listen to the kiddos munching, I hear rain dropping. It helps me feel calm. Just like when I watch you and the kids! Love you so
Much love from an ex-patriot living in Greece--Thank you for all of this !!! Give my love to Woody !!!!
There is nothing more beautiful than man connecting with, and understanding wildlife. The Racoon Restaurant is literally the best show on youtube. Stay safe 😘
Jim, don’t give those ignorant people a second thought..... you my friend are doing God’s work taking care of His little fur babies.... you have well earned your place in heaven..... those people there on the other hand... well?? Ty for all you do know that you are loved and appreciated.❤️🤗🙏🏻
Jim, you are such a kind and caring man. These fur babies are so lucky to have a person like you to care for them. Your deck is probably the only place of safety and solace where they know they are safe, and will be fed and cared for.
ABSOLUTELY WISH I WAS THERE FEEDING THOSE AWESOME FUR BABIES!!!🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝❤🦝
This is the coolest guy. With his love of animals. I love hearing about the raccoons & cats. And he plays guns & roses.
I just want to say every day, I love Scooter! He’s such a good boy, poor buddy just wants to be WOODY’s friend. He looked so disappointed when he hissed at him.
Too cute when you called Woody's name and he turned around while he was on the stairs. The best leader of the pack Mr. Blackwood!
I noticed that too!smart boy woody!
IDK why anyone would give you a hard time. Maybe it's how they avoid facing their own problems. You're awesome Jim! Your love for animals is wonderful. You're doing the best you can, just like the rest of us.
Oh my goodness how I love the sound crunch crunch crunch those adorable raccoons make. I so enjoy your videos Jim. Thank you! 😊
Love and appreciate all you do for the wee critters.
You are a special person. I love the raccoons. I have squirrels here. As many as 18. They aren't as friendly as your friends, but they don't run as fast as they used to. You are great! Thanks!
Watching Jim and the racoons is one of the joys of life. Please don't disturb his sparse free time with phone calls, he needs some free time. And have some respect for him and all he does.
I am a therapist. So many people have lived wasted lives and find themselves empty and in despair. They have no passions. This man is such a great example of finding his passion. I’m sure he seems silly to those living in loneliness and despair. Lots of people would be shooting these raccoons with a .22 trying to get rid of them. Trapping and poisoning. But Jim has found passion where others find negativity. I am a huge fan. God bless you, sir. To me you are a rock star.
That's the most I've seen Woody up on the deck. Good boy!
Hi Mr Blackwood. I usually don't comment but today you seem as though you needed a bit of a pick-me-up. I just wanted to send you a huge thank you and warm wishes from sunny South Africa. Your channel is about the only place I get to see raccoons up close. They are so cute ! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Eating breakfast with the raccoons and your stories has become a real morning treat.
Aww I like how Woody stand's and waits so patient love your videos keep them coming
Hi 👋🏾 Woody, the plus-size raccoon 🦝 ☺️. He’s so cute. He really loves and listens to Jim in a woody kinda way 😆.
Bless you jim these. Beautiful animas will be able to live because of you.
I enjoy watching you feed these furballs and i appreciate it so much that u take time of ur busy day to upload these videos. I say simply ignore the trolls or turn off the comments and don't complicate your passion with frivolous shanagans. There are people in the world that have nothing else better to do but complain or think that everyone wants to hear there 2 cents. I love ur videos and I can not imagine ending my day any other way but watching these furballs stuffing there face!!!! Thanks again 😁.
That woody is one nervous reck🤣
I hope Woody isn’t all alone in the wild. It’s gonna be a long cold Winter if he doesn’t have others to cuddle with.
Good point. He's such a gentleman
I’d like to see a few dog houses with nice thick hay
Woody is a magnet. He will snuggle with another loner or a female. 😉
@@kathleenharris6124 they have homes in the woods! They live in hollowed out trees and in dens/burrows! They have thick coats! They stay warm in the winter! I don’t think this man needs to put houses out for theses cute little guys! I honestly don’t think they would stay in the dog houses🤣🤣🤣🤣 they would more n likely just go back in the woods!🥰 but not not a bad idea tho I just don’t think it would do any good!! I know a little about raccoons! I rehab them! I have 1 in my house right now playing with my dog!! It’s good they play with my dog and cats! It helps them learn with socializing! Raccoons are very social animals! They actually live with family! Kind of like humans lol 😂
Don't say it. Makes me sad. I still say his clan is hiding close by.
its downright therapeutic to watch you and your Racoons, timeless goodness :) Thank you for sharing your life with them !
This is one of my favorite videos. I am depressed 😔😔 and these videos of the 🦝🦝🦝 cheer me up.
God bless this kind soul. A true gentleman and nature protector. We are all lucky to have such a kind and nice content on UA-cam. Thank you Sir. We appreciate it.
The only ones allowed to complain are the raccoons and they look very happy with the menu at Jim’s diner. Hopefully you still find joy in this and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. Cheers. 👍👏👍👏
Mr. Blackwood, Please don’t let stupid, petty people spoil your life. You’re doing a fantastic job. So many people admire you and all the work you do providing these beautiful animals with nutrition and stability in an unstable world. Not to mention your great musical talents. Please don’t let these common, boring people who pick apart and find stuff wrong with anything and everything get to you. They are not worth it. Just sit back and enjoy all of the appreciation you get from all the rest of us. You’re a great guy. Thank you so much for caring .
YES !!!!!! I agree with you and hope and pray he listens .❤
Such cute balls of fur!! This would be my happy place! I’m also addicted to watching CritterVision on UA-cam. You are an awesome person, keep doing what you love!
James you are taking good care of your Raccoons. They are so healthy and well cared for. Bless You for all You do for these precious animals.
😢Precious❣ A kind example of humanity! Thank you sir🤗
Thank You for sharing another evening with the racoons. I have wstched the videos since beginning of summer and watched the babies grow and grow and what a blessing to enjoy them. Thank You for taking the time and all your work behind the scene for shopping and taking up the stairs and cleaning grapes and making sandwich and cutting up many pounds of hotdogs and so much more. I appreciate all you do for us to be able to share this experience with You. Have a wonderful day. Take Care Cindy from Ohio USA
The little bandits just want to come inside and cuddle with you, Miss Charlotte, and Connor Cat on the bed! Can you imagine?
Sweet Raccoon Dreams, Jim!
Sweet Dreams Marvelous Moderators! 😴
Sweet Dreams Churchville, Nova Scotia Raccoons! 😴
Sweet Dreams Raccoon Whisperer Nation! 😴
They can be like unruly little children sometimes. 😊 Bless your heart for taking care of Gods creatures. You are a special man.
Thank you for sharing your channel an your videos! I love to see how so many people love Gods precious creatures an how giving an caring you are to them. It warms my heart to watch your videos an makes me happy!! God bless an hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Thank you for sharing!!!! I enjoy watching you with the raccoons , you make me smile 😊.I think you do a good job. Keep up the good work you do with these loveble raccoons. These babies are so fortunate to have you in their lives I know you enjoy them too. 😊
Look at all those balloons! Love this! Thanks again for all the videos
All that crunching sounds like it was hailing out.
They are just so much fun to watch every night...please know that most of us have no complaints whatsoever. Just grateful to see them all and the way you interact with them. Thank you so much!
We love the videos!!! Don't listen to the people who don't. You're doing a good thing for the raccoons. you've been doing it for 20 years so no sense in stopping now
Thank you Jim for all you do. And we appreciate the videos, we love to watch them.
Beyond cute lol aw thank-you for feeding them so well. They look so fat and plump.
I love the sound of them chewing food it helps me sleep.
What is wrong with people complaining about how you do things while you care for your daily visitors? Get a life people. Either enjoy what Jim is doing or find someplace else to spread your foolishness! Keep up the good work, Jim. You give so many of us such joy. I feed my 12 visitors nightly and have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Love everything about them
Woody is a BEAUTIFUL raccoon!! ____ THANK YOU for keeping the camera on him a bit longer & getting those awesome still shots of him last night!! .........................He looks so much better & healthier now, than when he first arrived.
I don’t understand. I simply don’t understand why people think they have to be critics and can’t just enjoy the content. I for one enjoy watching these videos and get a kick out of seeing someone being that kind to wild animals and wanting to share them with the world. It doesn’t matter that Jim gets the names mixed up on occasion. If you have more than one child how many times have you called one of them the others name? 🤨 Jim you’re doing a fantastic job giving those of us that really enjoy the raccoons and cats. Personally I’m more of a dog person but adopted a neighborhood cat that was starving. He stays primarily outside and my westie just tolerates him. My husband and I did away with our landline because of spammers. What a relief! Stay well, be happy and PLEASE don’t stop filming. Thank you. 🤗
People are stupide... they cannot do anything better than he do..and they criticiz...with is inacceptable...
Hope Jim is not affected by that stupide people
I was so sad to see this man upset tonight. You can tell he was really out of sorts. Sending you hugs James! ❤️
I think you are perfect, Jim! You do a fantastic job! People are idiots some times! Pay them no mind! You just keep on doing what you are doing. We all love you for taking care of these little guys. You make my evening watching these videos. I love their beautiful little faces. God bless you, Jim!👍👍💞
My hats off to you for all you do.... not only the day to day chores in taking care of the racoons, but you keep an immaculate house with all the love and care you shower on Conner and Charlotte. Even your shed sparkles!!!? You are a Saint 😘❤️💙
I wish Jim wouldn't get stressed over trolls, intrusive people, and all the questions he gets on FB. I understand his venting though :) Bless Jim for even trying to keep up with his FB questions. If they really want an answer they can put it in the comments here and one of the fans will answer. Looking up his phone number and calling is just psycho. He should get an unlisted number.
What Disgusting Narcissistic Buffoons wouldn't see the Unconditional Love you have for your Precious furbabies!!!!! How MANY HAVE THEY FED?????? DON'T YOU EVER DARE SPEAK TO THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!!!!!
I wish people would leave you alone and just enjoy your videos. You are doing every thing right. You should not have to explain yourself to anyone. Your awesome!
Munchkin und crunchkin, chompin und stompin, chewin und spewin. How much fun is it to hear them going to town.
Aww....Those little faces peering through the window is priceless.❤
Yes they are!
