I don't think I have posted a picture of my raccoon (Lucky) holding anything in his hands before. He can use his hands much like a human - not as well as they lack opposable thumbs, but they can still hold and grab things well. He can even hold things in one hand, just not very well. A video would do much better at showing how they can manipulate objects with their hands.

I'll try to get a video of him opening things (such as cabinets, drawers, and containers, but it won't be easy because when I have the camera, he is much more interested in the camera than doing anything else. If you have anything like a camera or cell phone or anything else like that, he usually wants to mess with that instead of doing anything else.
I've said this before, but my pets mean the world to me. I doubt if I'd survive without them. They give me a reason to live even when I want to die. They also do nothing to hurt me. All the people around me are abusing each other - parents hate each other, my 16/yo nephew beats the hell out of my 70 year old dad and is emotionally abusive to my mom, a relatives son has been physically abused (stopped for now, until the mother goes back to the bastard), my brother is an asshole more often than not (not to mention being selfish and thinking I am a parasite). My pets are really the only living things in my life that are not treating anyone bad or making me feel bad. I am really sick of all the shit going on around me. It doesn't seem like it will ever stop. At least I have my pets. I hope they don't die any time soon.
