Tuesday Tails

We have new visitors to my pine tree!  Baby possums!!  I chased a few up the tree last night.  Mom could not get me inside and finally had to come out to see what I was after this time.  At first she thought it was a skunk....then she saw the long noses and tails and started screaming!  She got me on the leash and brought me inside.  I try to stay outside as much as I can now to protect her from these strange looking creatures.  Her neighbor says she has found them on her front porch every night.  I think they are rather interesting but mom screams at them.  I think mom needs to calm down about the growing possum population.  It could be worse....on the other side of the city, the skunks have taken over!!

On patrol.  Do I look serious? 

I take my guard duties very serious.  I would like a badge to wear.


Checking the other side of the yard.  I think it's too early for them to be out yet.

I'll find them again and they best not be in my pine tree!  Don't worry mom...I've got your back!!

Have a Great Day!
Lots of Love!!

Oh, how neat! ALthough, I'm not so sure I'd want them in my yard :)

Holly, you look so beautiful. I can't get over your silky, shiny fur. Can you come over and sit next to me on my couch?

Hi Holly, you are a good guard dog for sure. Mum says be careful. One of her doggies caught a possum once and he was very ferocious. Take care. No worries, and love, Stella

Elaine Pritchard said...

Your mum must be soooo glad she's got you to protect her. Those pesky possums won't get past you, will they?

Love and licks, Winnie

Be careful! I've always heard they aren't the nicest creatures! Can you call someone to remove them?

Mom says she would rather have possums than skunks, but none of those critters would be best. Those possums have nasty teeth. We love your pics, especially that last one. Such a pretty girl.

I don't know about those little critters, but YOUR pictures are gorgeous sweet Holly!

Marg said...

Holly, we have to agree with Mom. Possoms are not nice. You be careful cause they will not run from you. Our Mom has tried to chase them and it just doesn't work.
Those are mighty good pictures of you. And please tell Mom, thanks for coming to the auction.

My Mind's Eye said...

Holly have I told you lately your are beautiful? If not, consider yourself told!! I love your fluffiness.

Yes you do look as if you take your job very seriously and all I can say is the possums best find another yard!!

your BFFF Madi

What a good (and beautiful) patrol dog you are! We think you should have a badge too! Good job!

Willow said...

Brrrr my Mom would also go running in the opposite direction. Holly you are being very protective of Mom from the mean possums.
Purrs,
Willow and Meredith

you are very brave Holly protecting your family from that possum. Rosie once had to run off a woodchuck that had the nerve to squeeze under our gate and come into the back yard. Mom freaked about that one too, afraid Rosie would get hurt, but that woodchuck didn't know who he was messing with - he ran away in fear. Our newby Lucy is anxiously awaiting her first siting of these strange creatures.

Good job protecting your yard like that. :)

Bailey Be Good! said...

We had a possum in our yard a few months ago! We watched it at night through the bedroom window. There are some pics on my site somewhere. :)

Woofs & hugs <3,

Wow! Sounds like your pine tree has been invaded. We love your patrol pics...real serious stuff! We agree about could be worse. A skunk invasion sounds wayyyyy worse.
