I thought I had better tell you what my one thing was. I was out running the dogs Sunday evening when the large german shepherd started barking her mean, "I mean business" bark. the two dogs I had on leashes started freaking out. We went out to the bee hives and saw that she had a possum cornered. It was hissing and drooling, she was barking and growling. Now, we've had plenty of possums, among other things, trek through this little slice of heaven. But one thing I know about possums, when confronted with 2 large pissed off dogs they will usually flop over and play dead. This one wasn't. That concerned me. So I took the two leashed dogs inside. Considered whether or not to dig for shells and the right gun to fit them or grab a heavy garden shovel. I had a dog dangerously close to pushing the possum envelope and a shovel at hand. I grabbed the leash and shovel and ran back out to the bee hives. Fortunately she is a smart dog(as well as terribly neurotic) and as soon as she saw me flying across the yard brandishing heavy shovel and yelling at her to leave it alone she beat a hasty retreat. So, I decided to confront the ugly little beast and make certain it wasn't going to hurt my precious furry babies. Three strong whacks of that shovel and we had one dead possum. The coyotes had a free dinner last night on me. Possum killer LaT
