This morning when I woke up, Betty was outside barking and barking and barking. I looked outside and saw her tail sticking outside the shed door, but it was dark, and that's about all I could see. I thought, if somebody was out there, she wouldn't be standing there just barking at them. She'd be attacking. So, I went ahead and jumped in the shower. When I got out, it was lighter outside and Betty was still barking so I went to investigate. What I saw was a opossum, who appeared so cute and fuzzy in my shed. That's what Betty was barking at.
I went back in the house and yelled for my daughter. I told her there was a opossum in the shed and I needed help to get her out. Beth said, "I've got my school clothes on, Betty will jump on me". So, I told her I would hold Betty and she would get the opossum out.
We go outside and I get Betty away from the shed and hold her by her collar. Beth goes into the shed and slowly approaches the opossum telling her to go away. Beth tells me she won't move. I told her to get one of the tools in the shed and push the opossum. Beth grabs a broom. She "scoots" the opossum but the opossum turned and "growled/hissed" at her. Beth screamed and came running towards me. We go back into the house. Beth "imitated" what that opossum did. She was hilarious! Well, we tried.
When we left the house, Betty was still barking.
The top photo is of the opossum, yet, it was dark in the shed.
Came home to find the dog was no longer barking and the opossum was not there.
