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!!!
