The Backyard Standoff

Rosie was in the backyard last night, barking up a storm ~  unusual for her, especially at 9:30 at night. 

Amy went to call her in and she wouldn't come ~ again unusual.

Armed with a flashlight, Amy went to investigate.

Came back to the house to get reinforcements ~ her dad.  And the camera.

This hissing, angry, interloper was eating Rosie's dogfood in her kennel and wasn't happy about the racket and confusion ~ the bright flashlight beam and flashing camera didn't help either.

That possum is not moving to Georgia with us.  That was a large, adult critter.

Rosie finally came in and who know what happened to the possum ~ maybe its hanging in a tree somewhere planning its next invasion.

Certainly livened up our Sunday evening!
