Ewww.

My dog barks at almost anything, but once in a great while he fixates on something to bark at and its usually with good reason. So when he decided to bark at the underside of our shed I wanted to know what it was. It was dark and I had had a few glasses of wine. So feeling brave I grabbed the camera because that was the only way I could think of to get enough light and to fit under the space to see what it was. Well, I almost wish I didn't find out. And I won't be trying that again. I don't know who was more scared, me when I looked at the picture, or it when I took the picture.

Here's the critter:


If you've never seen one before, it's an opossum. They are gross. Ewww.

I can't believe you took the picture of it. I'd be too afraid that whatever was under there would jump out at me.. lol.

That's awesome! What a picture, capturing the mouth open. This could be sent around to scare anyone who gives you trouble, it could be thought of as one of your furry pets.
