Things that go BUMP (or BARK!) in the night


Quite the adventure we had on our hands last night -- not one I ever care to repeat -- as Dillon (our shepherd mix dog) took on one ugly, nasty possum at 1am. Fun... You should have heard them out there, ripping all of our neighbors (and I am sure, the whole northside of town) out of their quiet slumber with gnashing and barking coming from opposing sides. If this was the WWF we could call them Dillon "Protective Powerhouse -- Don't You Come Into MY Yard" Malesich vs. Possum "Rabies Reservoir - Put Up Your Dukes" Problem. Quite the show you all missed! (By show I mean Kolby and I racing down the yard in our pj's, no shoes, and a weak flashlight...cursing the noisy bunch in the pitch dark at the bottom of the yard).

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting one of these mangy, large rat-like creatures... here's a photo for you! Enjoy!
