24 truly unbearable struggles of being single on New Year's Eve

Every night at 7.30pm, five raccoons – one of which Kaylah has named Rosemary – visit Kaylah.

They wait outside her backdoor for her to come and greet them, and they have done for over six months.

Kaylah told Buzzfeed that back in August, Rosemary was first to visit – and ever since,… Read the full story
