(She has since moved to Vancouver B.C.) <BR/><BR/>Every night while laying in bed she could hear them running around and digging up there. Some how one managed to get in between the walls and apparently fell three stories down into the basement. Well one day she went down there to do laundry and there was this little fellow running around and having a gay old time. <BR/><BR/>It really frightened her and she screamed and ran back upstairs and stuck towels under the door and such. What a day that was I tell you!bukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692228678726955610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-35185758420343228072008-07-17T12:21:00.000-04:002008-07-17T12:21:00.000-04:00Ewwww...possums give me the creeps, don't know why...Ewwww...possums give me the creeps, don't know why.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167980498731684457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-52655923336756169562008-07-16T14:40:00.000-04:002008-07-16T14:40:00.000-04:00That is not as uncommon as you might think.

Any time we'd go visit, we'd hear the squirrels running around in her ceiling. Nasty little buggers would keep us up all night.

I'm calling for back-up!"<BR/><BR/>Crack me up! Those varmint sure cause us a lot of aggravation. Squirrels (especially red ones) are annoying enough when they're outside, close to the house; never mind IN the house. Good grief. <BR/><BR/>Which reminds me of the time, long ago, when my friend and housemate arrived in her room to find a flying squirrel had gotten in. I wasn't there but in her attempt to get it out of the house, she suffered a bite and had to go get a tetanus shot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-5345170186868159622008-07-15T15:57:00.000-04:002008-07-15T15:57:00.000-04:00your blog is increasingly beautiful, with photos a...your blog is increasingly beautiful, with photos and images offVoz do meu Coraçãohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713234040397562740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-614471861687197132008-07-15T14:57:00.000-04:002008-07-15T14:57:00.000-04:00lol, again and againGreat story!I was waiting for ...lol, again and again<BR/>Great story!<BR/>I was waiting for a train home from work one afternoon and across from the platform a oppossum was sleeping spread out on a tree limb.

Years ago when my girls were little and we lived on the farm a snake got in our house. One of them told me not long ago that I grabbed them and said, "Get everything you want to take with you, because we are never coming back!" I drove to a neighbors house for help with the snake.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078537002880283509noreply@blogger.com
