We live in town, really we do.  So, maybe one of y’all could explain that to the little critter that Trixie-the-Wonder-Dog found hidin’ underneath Sally Mae’s bed this morning.

Now Sally Mae’s bed is quite near our back door and we leave that door open all day long and because it’s a stupid, backwards opening door we don’t have a screen door there.  It’s just open.

I’m hopin’ that’s how the critter gained entrance.  Either that or Trixie brought it in, but we didn’t notice any excited behavior or barking until we started noticing a lot of my dog disappearing under the bed.  So, I’m guessing it just wandered in and found the nearest dark, quiet, cool hidey place.

By the way, if you don’t already have a smallish dog, I recommend you go to the pound today and get one.  Nuthin’  handier for locating pesky, intruding critters.  

And while you are out and about stop in at WalMart or HomeDepot and get some rakes.  Just sayin’.

The kids are all about the tracks it makes and researching the nocturnal habits.  I’m rather more interested in WHY ON EARTH DID THAT NASTY THING COME IN MY HOUSE?  But, oh my lands, I found a Possum Cookbook online.  Everybody altogether now, EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
