    More Raccoon Cooling Off in Pool

    By lyttleton  |  Posted August 12, 2011  |  Cypress, Texas
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     lyttleton says he's seen Ricky Raccoon in the yard but never in the pool before. He was relaxing outside when he heard a noise in the water. 'I looked up to see 'Ricky' swimming laps. He saw me but was not bothered with my presence. I watched him for about 5 minutes, then went to get my kids.'
    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    Here are some more pictures of "Ricky" the raccoon as he enjoyed my pool.  I don't blame him for seeking refuge from the multiple 100 degree days here in Houston.
