However, Buster was initially frightened by it, reacting as if it was some giant, unmoving, golem-like creature brooding by the front window. However, after a little while he worked up his nerve and investigated it. Of course, now it's his favorite place:

In other critter news, I let Buddy in the back yard a couple hours ago for an early-evening pee-break. Suddenly, he started barking like mad -- and not his usual "pinging the neighborhood" bark to see if any other dogs were out, but rather a frantic "there's something back here!" bark. So I went out and behold! An opossum on the fence! Lisa managed to take a picture of the little guy:

Finally, after much yelling at Buddy to calm down, we all went back inside and let the poor critter continue on his way.

That is the most cartoon-like opossum photo I have ever seen. Hee.
One of my proofreading colleagues many years ago was from the south. She was so convinced that there was no such word as "opussum" (instead it was "possum") that we had to look it up in the dictionary.
Yes, "opossum" just seems wrong. It's a possum, dang it!
