Dog Walk, Saturday, Oct. 24, 2009

Frost this morning!  Woo hoo, what a circus we had around here last night.  Of course it was due to the “royal mouth” again.  Huck chased a young opposum under the back deck, crawled in after it and would not come out.  He stayed under there until ten p.m. even though Momma Dog went out every thirty minutes and called him, finally getting her flashlight to make sure he was still under there and not out in the woods somewhere.   The opposum, being one of the few things smaller than Huck, slipped away from him though the design work and finally, Huck opted for a warm bed inside.  I, for one, was glad to see him so I could finally go to bed.  While he was out pursuing some uneatable thing, I wore myself out protecting the family just in case his bigger cousin showed up.  Sometime in the night though, the opposum returned and ate the rest of the cat food from the feeeder.  Surprisingly, cats and opposums seem to get along, Momma Dog has seen them eating together.
