So this is how my craptastic day started out...

I let my big dog, Ollie, out this morning to pee.  Before I knew it, he was lunging like, well, a crazed dog, at our back fence, jumping so high I thought he was going to clear it.  I was like "what the..." and I realized there was a possum up on the fence.  Before I could stop him, he'd dragged the poor animal down and snapped its neck and was trying to eat it.  This really disturbed me because 1) gross, 2) before coffee, 3) I am one of those weirdos who actually likes possums and I felt bad. Possums are harmless and do a very, very good job of keeping rat populations in check.  I really hope this one wasn't on her way to feed her babies .

Needless to say, I skipped breakfast this morning, and now I'm all crabby.

How are your mornings going?

Oh wow what a morning. Hope your day improves!

I have to say possums seriously creep me out. But that is sad.

Yeah, they are creepy.  We had one nesting under a stairway that we could see from our window (in an apartment I used to live in).  The have those empty, ancient eyes that sharks have that make them seem kind of evil.  I ended up doing some research (trying to figure out whether to evict the possum under the stairs) and found out they are really helpful animals and so I developed an appreciation for them.

That is so sad!  My dog likes to catch and kill things, thank goodness it is mostly bees and bugs.  She has gone after other things like mice and rabbits, but I have always been able to stop her.  I already told DH that if she was to catch something while he was at work that I would make him come home because I don't think I could handle it.  Uck!

Hope your day ended on a better note! I'm waiting for DD to poop again so I can run it over to the doctor. A few people have had a nasty parasite recently and we've been sick on and off for a week now

Ewww. Not a fun way to start the day. Hopefully tomorrow is better! On a side note, I don't think I've ever seen a possum in real life...
