Creatures in the night
We were awakened early this morning (5:30 am) by the dogs barking like crazy. We crept out of the bedroom to find our basset hound, Cooper, in the front room with something trapped in the corner and then we heard a *hissing* sound. We immediately knew what it was - a possum. We've seen this little guy around the yard some and he and our cat, Polly, have seemed to have forged some sort of bond. While we were waiting for Animal Control to come, Polly went right up to th possum and started sniffing it and the thing never hissed or even moved! Of course, every time we got within 10 feet, it showed us its fangs and hissed like crazy. Thankfully, Animal Control got here shortly after 6 am and took the possum away. Michael will be installing a new dog door this weekend!

Where was Jabie while all this was going on? I know nothing can happen with out a kids nose up in there somewhere...
ReplyDeleteMe to Bart - Hey, Shalon has a blog. She is a crazy blogger like me now. They had a possum in their house last night.
ReplyDeleteBart: In their house.
Me: Yep, had to call animal control
Bart: Anything else of interest?
Me: They clean up well.
You really had to be here. It was funny.
Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI bet your kids thought it was great! Excellent idea to take pictures of the insanity. You're a scrapbooker in the making!!
