Oh boy did you guys miss the excitement around here. Mom heard a noise downstairs this morning and thought it must be the cats. So she didn't go down right away. A little later she went down and out onto the sun porch and what a mess we found. There were potted plants turn over with pots broken and dirt everywhere. There were decorations that had been on the windowsill that were now on the floor. Both cats had been in the house so it couldn't have been them. Well we were helping Mom check out all the damage and Mom noticed that I was really interested in this one large watering can. She came closer for a look and could see some kind of an animal in there. Mom was VERY glad that I was being pretty careful checking it out. She made us go back in the house though and she took one more look. She could see black and what and maybe some gray. She couldn't see it well and especially after that Mom was afraid to get too close to look. She came back in and in the process I snuck back out. Hehe. Mom went berserk calling be back in the house and away from that interesting smelling watering can. Once back in she called animal control and put us upstairs ... behind the gate. Pooh. She went out another door and around the house to wait for animal control. They didn't take long to get there and Mom showed them through the door where it was and then backed way up and half way around the house. BOL. The guy got it and took the possum to his truck. Whew. Mom was afraid her sun porch was going to STINK for sure if it had been a skunk. Have you guys ever taken a good look at a possum? Mom says that have a BIG mouth that can open really wide ... all the better to bite you with. No more leaving the sun porch door open a crack for the cats. Hehe.
I got to go swimming. Really swimming in water deep enough to swim in. Mom came in with me. She carried me out just a little bit and let me swim back in. We did that several times. I got to try swimming for the first time a few days ago, and did so without the life jacket that time. Mom thought we would try it with this time. I do fine either way, but since she wasn't sure how deep it would be where we were swimming she opted for safety first. Turns out it wasn't all that deep. Can't wait to go again!
