Bennett had just returned from the school run last week when she found the mom and a baby raccoon unconscious, with one of the babies sleeping on the furniture.
Ashley Bennett is used to seeing raccoons in her Maple Ridge, B.C., yard.
However, a recent incident has left her shaken.
Bennett moved into the home with her family in 2020 and found the raccoons when they dismantled a deck.
She said they have co-existed since then, with a rule for every family member not to touch or feed the animals.
They’ll actually sit on the tree and the dogs will be in the backyard,” Bennett said.
“There’s no growling, there’s no snarling, there’s no nothing… If I don’t see them for 24 hours, that’s suspicious. They are always around.”

She came outside and said the little raccoon didn’t stir at all.
