MIDNIGHT ENCOUNTER!
I let the dogs out to do their business b4 bedtime and they went absolutely insane trying to get at something. My rottweiler Sophie actually tried to get on top of the bbq to get at it! Both her and my Great Pyrenees Teddy were jumping at the fence and barking wildly. So, I finally see what it is they are losing their minds over...a possum! They have invaded our area this summer, and they are not the friendliest of creatures. I quickly grabbed my camera and took pics of it while it was sitting motionless on the fence. I tried to catch its big wide yawn but only got the tail end of it. I guess it's getting quite tired of playing possum now as it's been about an hour! lol Well, here are a couple of pics I took...a cute but scary little animal for sure! Just look at those teeth! I just checked again and the possum is still sitting on the fence. My dogs still haven't done their business, but they are at the sliding door watching and grumbling away!

Pretty scary looking creature - he could fit in the dark RR.

Hi Val. Great pictures of the oppossums. I will have to show them to Pete. Did you also know that they sound like birds when they call to each other.

Your new header is fantastic and I love the altered books your working on.
