Night time visit


Sent the dogs out for a wee after midnight last night, and when the came back, one of them refused to settle. He kept jumping on the bed ( and I kept shoving him off). I ordered him to his bed (and he wouldn't go).

Eventually, he was so persistant and rubbed himself against my hand, and I felt a claw where I claw shouldn't be.

Suddenly I was wide awake, and the light snapped on!

Something was on his belly. I rolled him over, and there was a baby ringtail possum, clinging hard to his belly!!!

Poor baby!

Oh dear
The poor baby not quite what one would expect what did you do with the little one?

Dogs do have a way of telling us something dont they?

took the baby possum outside wrapped in a towel, and left him for his mum to find.

luckily, this morning he was gone, and his mum had found him.

he was so tiny, he fitted in my cupped hands.

Oh thats sweet, the dog must have thought he had found himself a baby. Never heard of that happening before.

So, it's all good.
