Happy Labor Day everyone!! We hope you all are enjoying your extra day off and are celebrating this absolutely stunning weather! The littles however didn't get the memo that it's a vacation day and are still hard at work grooming each other so they look extra nice for their next big life step! In just a few short weeks they'll be ready to be released back to the wild! Release is always a bittersweet time for us but in the meantime we're soaking up these adorable moments as much as we can.

Happy Saturday everyone! We often talk about how grateful we are to live and work in this community because of how amazing our fellow Chippewa Valleyians are and here we have another perfect example! Travis, his son, and Joe all came out for a volunteer day and together they helped build a new raccoon running wheel, planted new shrubs and plants around the grounds, and finished building our duckling playpen! Travis and Joe both work at Jamf and as a company, Jamf encourages their employees to volunteer and partner with non profits like us by sponsoring up to 24 hours a year in volunteer hours! How incredible is that? On behalf of all of us here at CVWR and all of our beloved wild ones, we want to send out a huge thank you to Travis, his son, Joe, and Jamf for their help and support! We're so lucky to live in such a generous and kind place.

Happy Thursday everyone! We might be in the dog days of summer but our raccoon kits still know how to have fun! As you can see they're absolutely mastering fishing and foraging under Uncle Merlot's watchful eye. We love how involved he is with them, constantly showing them the ropes and teaching them how to be successful adults one day. Before we know it they'll be ready for release but in the meantime we're enjoying these long days of watching them play, grow, and learn.

Happy Wild Wednesday everyone! Who's ready for the sneak peak we know you've all been waiting for! Our raccoon kits are often our most popular artists every year and it's easy to see why. They are so curious and absolutely love this enrichment every year! Raccoons have a very high level of nerve endings in their hands making playing with paint extra fun and exciting for them. You can really tell how much fun they have creating these when you look at them too, which really makes them extra special.
Tomorrow is the big day! Make sure you've rsvp'd to the event so you don't miss anything. We can't wait to reveal all the amazing art prints this year and see who wins each one.

Happy Wild Wednesday everyone! Today we're excited to share an update about our two mink kits! They are doing amazing and they love being outside in their outdoor enclosure. They're exceeding all of our rehabilitation benchmarks and will be ready for release very soon! In the meantime however we are soaking up every minute with these two. They are mesmerizing to watch and keep us laughing with their playful antics. While mink are rather prevalent in Wisconsin, they are not the most common wild one to see in a rehab setting. In the wild mink are quick, agile, and will avoid humans at all costs if they can. So getting the opportunity to see these two grow and play together like in this video here has truly been a highlight for us this season and we hope you all think so too! Thank you everyone and have a great rest of your week!
P.s. If you like these two adorable wild ones as much as we do, make sure to RSVP and follow our Pawesome art action event because you never know when you might get a rare chance to own a one of a kind piece of mink artwork! Check out the comments for teaser pictures and a link to the event.
