Hi Mr. James, I was going to continue to watch you whether the comments are turned off or not. I adore your channel and your work supporting wildlife.

Loved listening to your music the other night. It's amazing how quickly the babies have grown. It's all the good food you feed them. My husband and I truly enjoy you and your family of Raccoons. Really nice to see kindness. You're a good man James Blackwood.

[@sandypenny]

Thank you Mr Blackwood for sharing your raccoons and cats with us. We like to watch you every night before bedtime. Good health to you and your animals.

[@BiscuitsMom917]

James! thank you for the videos! I am in nursing school and watching the raccoon family makes my night after a stressful day. Good night from Arizona🌞

[@vickihenderson6194]

I like how Buddy #2 gets his exercise on the top rail of the deck. You don't see the antics he does behind you. Quite the gymnast! Thanks for sharing.🦝🦝❤

James, So happy to see the comments are back up and you too seem to be in better spirits. Glad to see your roofing project is done and went so smoothly. 💗🦝💗🦝💗🦝

Hey there Jim!! Dave and I here from sunny Mount Dora Florida again. We are so relieved that you did not let anyone knock you down. We cannot express enough how much we love seeing your videos, hearing you talk, show us your fur babies, your lovely home and talk of your day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the time you put into sharing your world with us. We love ya!

James so glad the comments are back. I missed You.

I know, I thought something was wrong with the comment section on my phone. I was still able to watch James and his Furry Friends but I wasn't able to leave a comment.

[@lindajones4478]

I'm happy the comments are back on too. I understand why they were turned off. James would have to be 3 people to read everything and comment back to everyone. He's a great man that loves all animals. ❤🐾🦝

[@camarogirl1369]

MEEEE TOOOOI!!! If people don’t like the video then they need to scroll along!!! I love Jim and ALL of his fur babies! I also love to leave comments telling him how big of a heart he has and how much I love watching his videos! 💓

Jim, it’s difficult, but please ignore mean people. They are unhappy and jealous. There are enough of us “kind humans” to keep you uplifted. Love your videos!

First time commenting. This is just so delightful!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful musical talent with us. Enjoyed the Doobie Brothers the other evening! Love watching those little charmers enjoying dinner each night. I feed my raccoon crew here in Essex, Connecticut. They love the Kibbles & Bits, grapes, oatmeal cookies, and peanut butter sandwiches! Six chubby babies and four teenagers right now. Blessings to you, and the beautiful care you give to the animals and the world! Kindly, Liz

[@robertgrissom5760]

[@lovey1056]

[@loki6253]

@@lovey1056 I will need reruns or something. Maybe he can feed us if we show up. Not as cute, but I will worry about Mr Jim. And where do they hide?

[@mycatalby630]

I loved that video when you were playing Long train running. You’re a good singer and you play good music. I’ve watched it a few times. Please don’t listen to negative people. They aren’t worth your time. You do everything perfect, you feed them good food, and your camera angle is good.and you treat the racoons all the same with respect. You’re a very kind man Jim we need more people like you.🦝🐈💜🥰❤️🇨🇦

Glad everything is going great on the roof looks great!! 22 raccoons the other night Awesome to see! Goodnight Jim and kitty cats❤

[@terrenceball6439]

Connor heard the treat bag, he appeared...lol. Connor is hilarious.

[@ginger7741]

I got so upset seeing him upset. So glad everything is back. After putting leftovers out in my woods for 3 weeks I finally got a raccoon to visit. He looks so skinny. But he'll have food every night as long as he wants.

[@ArsRob]

Hey Jim, that is great news about your roof....Now at least you won't have to worry about the storms so much...I wonder if you are going to have a lot of little raccoon footprints all over your newly painted bench? Take care and be safe....

[@yvonnehusic9879]

Good evening ! My husband and I look forward to your evening raccoon feedings. We have several raccoons that visit us nightly ( they eat the seeds that the birds leave and sometimes we feed them leftovers ) Love your vids. You are a kind man.

Watching your videos from the UK. Ignore any negativity and know there is a great worldwide community who are supporting you. Love watching your interactions with the raccoon gang 😀

[@jimboyd695]

Yeah Conner likes the Temptations. My cat wouldn't eat Temptations either but loved the the Friskies(seafood) treats. Maybe Jim could try some for Charlotte.

And let's not forget about Sammy. He's so trusting of Jim. He's one of my favorites. Sammy always eats right under Jim.

Sammy seems so domesticated that if Jim let Him in the House he would probly share the Litter box with Jim’s Cats.

Jim I just want to let you know your channel is therapy for me, I live with chronic pain and an emotionally abusive mother, watching you feed these precious racoons help me deal with my situation, thank-you so much for sharing and bringing me this joy.

[@lw5836]

I’m so glad you got the roof fixed. I know it’s a huge relief. Thank you for sharing this great video. Connor is so typical! Sneaky little sucker. Offer food and here he comes. Both of your cats are so cute. Oh and hi Marilyn and twin! 😉 A big THANK YOU to Light My Fire for helping. Stay safe all.

Woody... you... big well-fed rascal!!! Come on, give Jim a two paws!!! :)

[@paulhart3812]

Ha Ha... The babies like biting ankles. I had a group of kittens... and they liked to bite and claw at my ankles to get my attention.

I hope that people are respectful of you and do not cause you to feel sorry you turned the comments back on. Just as others have said below, those people and their comments ae not worthy of your time. So much respect and appreciation for all the years you have been so good to the raccoons and for sharing them with all of us. Lightmyfire, thank you so much for moderating the comments. So very sorry you need to do so much.

[@cemalyurtseven8344]

Mr. Blackwood, God bless you sir for the empathy you show those furry little guys. Saint Francis always taught us we are all gods creatures, people and animals alike. And like I tell everyone they are just trying to survive like the rest of us. Where I used to live I had some orphaned raccoons when mama got run over by a car, and I did the same as you, I made sure they were fed and got fed enough to survive the winter, being that I live in New Hampshire. Boy they sure do love the dog food. There is such a misconception about raccoons and I try to educate people any chance I can. My wife and I love your videos, we love Buddy and Woody and the rest of the gang! By the way, I absolutely love your story about the UFO sighting, Somehow KZbin had even put in my recommendations your original interview with the CBC in 1978 I believe it was. There was a young strapping Constable Blackwood reporting on the strange events of that night, it was great. Anyone who doesn’t believe that in the vastness of our universe if there could be other life out there it is crazy. One last thing, even though I am an American Army veteran, thank you for your service to your country as well. It takes a little something extra for a person to be able to step up and serve their country and do it it honorably. God bless you again sir and I look forward to all your videos in the future.
