A bit before her due date, little Melissa joined the family on Halloween morning. Hopefully this doesn't mean she'll grow up to be goth... or get pumpkin-flavored birthday cakes every year!

Newborn raccoons have a somewhat inverted fur pattern. If she looks a bit odd, keep in mind her mask and colors will fill in over the next few weeks.

Oh, Wac, how are you going to take care of your own kid when you can barely handle a cute little munchkin like Sunny? Well, granted she's almost as big as you are, but still... ;)

Sunny has been chasing Wac around with a red marker, trying to dot his eyes with faux pupils. He seems to have gotten a grip on the situation... temporarily.

This is my half of a trade with FriskyWoods, which took me practially forever to finish. See the prequel here: Unfinished Business.
