We had some excitement last night at bedtime! Jerret noticed that Chloe was sitting still and looking very intently at the mantel of the fireplace. She was watching a little POSSUM walk around up there! We have been hearing something under the house, but weren't worried because we certainly didn't think whatever it was was COMING INSIDE!!! I had some plants on that mantel that were disappearing when we first moved in. They were broken and pieces were missing every morning - they got smaller and smaller every day! Jerret now admits that he thought I was crazy (and I kind of did too), but I guess not! Anyway, the little guy wasn't very scared of us and accepted crackers from Jerret, which helped Jerret lure him into a kennel. We are planning on taking him to a woodsy area today to release him to nature where he belongs. And we will be spending some of the day searching for and fixing any holes (particularly the one near the mantel) and cleaning up there and around the fireplace. For those of you who know us well, yes, we did discuss keeping him. Don't worry. We came to our senses, but he is very cute and is obviously at home here! Never a dull moment here at the Eastburg house! Here are some pictures for your amusement.
