Well. I just sat on a gun.

Well. I just sat on a gun. I should check to see if that's loaded...

Ok, it totally is. I think I'll properly put that away now. 😳

I came home last night to one of my doors standing wide open. First thought: Get the gun and check the house. It was all clear, thankfully. I'm guessing a certain 13-year-old left the door unlocked and the dogs opened it.

After that I sat my gun in my chair and totally went about my business. I just sat down and was like, "Oh yeah... gun in my chair."

Scary situation, for sure - especially since it's just me and the kid. It would have been less scary if Shaun was here, but he wasn't. I gave Shadow my mace and was like, "Don't move until I say." What else do you do?  We live alone in Anniston, after all.

OMD - I could die happy right this minute.

I'm sitting here at my computer and I just heard the tiniest squeak.  And then I heard it again.  And again.

The only creature in my room with me is Dump and he's sleeping.  I think I just heard a squirrel dream!

I just want to tear out my hair and eat him.  I don't even know what to do with myself - that's so awesome.  ❤😃

Dumplin' says:  "Seriously woman?  I can't just lounge on the table looking fabulous without you going all PAPARAZZI on me?  Put the camera down and back away slowly."  What's funny is that after I took this he turned around to face me.  I guess to keep an eye on me.  😂😂😂

First good photo of Fred.

First good photo of Fred.  He's normally more shy than Barney, but I guess not when he's snoozing.  Love the little back foot fist and the curly tail.  He almost makes a heart with the ball he's curled into.  ❤

Barney & Fred snuggling.

Barney & Fred snuggling.  This is what I see when I walk into my kitchen.  I have to just keep my camera ready.

For the record their living place is clean.  That's a fresh puppy pad, but they eat and leave crumbs everywhere.  The bottom of the cage looks grody, but it's one I loaned out and it came back stained.  I couldn't scrub the brown out with a toothbrush.  (Yes, I tried).  Their hut is chewed up because it used to belong to my guinea pigs, but the opossums don't seem to care.  They sleep in it and climb on it just the same.  🙂

You know - it just doesn't seem to lose it's shock...

You know - it just doesn't seem to lose it's shock to walk in the room and find an opossum sleeping soundly.  They go all out, with their tongues out, eyes open, on their backs... they really look dead.  As much as I hate to disturb that kind of good sleep... I always do - just to make sure they are ok.  😂😂😂

Nelly posing in her cat bed from Shaun. 🙂

Penelope sleeping

Nelly sleeping again, with her butt hanging out.

Sleeping again. You can see her pouch in this one. 🙂

Nelly hair.  Because who needs blow-drying when you can just use some spit and slick it down?

Well... since he's staying with me...

Well... since he's staying with me, I thought I might as well give him his own album.  I can't stop photographing his adorable little ass anyway.  😃

YOU WILL DIE.

Just kidding.

Escaping the Shaun.

Wrestling the Shaun

Still wrestling the Shaun

Wrestling the Shaun, but tiring out. Adorably. 😃

He was resting on my hand just a second before I snapped this. I love his little face, though, so here is a close-up of part of it. 😛

Hanging from the couch by his back feet

Standing up

Buddha Belly!

Laid out on the table

Even squirrels do the frog butt. 😃

BEST. HAT. EVER.
