This weekend we have had an invader in our back yard ... more clearly, underneath the deck. We started off Saturday with putting the girls (Lexi and Sophie) outside like we do every morning only this time Sophie started screaming bloody murder and Lexi was barking something to death. Yes, our dog screams, don't judge. Clay and I bolted to the back door to see what the commotion was about but could not find anything that would make her so frightened. The only thing that we could have thought that might have even tried to get her would be a Grackle (or black bird) but she had no puncter marks or scraps from the claws.
Hmmm ... very interesting.
The next morning we woke up with Andrew at about 5:00am to feed and let the girls out. I had just sat down with Andrew and started feeding him his bottle, Clay was standing at the back door watching the girls (in his underwear and wearing no glasses) when all of a sudden Sophie started screaming again and as soon as Lexi heard her scream this time, she high-tailed it back inside the house. Clay on the otherhand, screamed SOPHIE!!! and took off into the oblivion with no shoes, glasses or pants on. He was hell-bent on saving his precious little girl. I sat with Andrew wondering what on earth was going on out there when Sophie shot inside and hid next to me, while Clay lept inside the door and shut it tight behind him. He really couldn't see what attacked Soph only that it was white and it took off back underneath the deck. So we made the assumption that it was an opposum.
Turns out what was causing us to get all riled up was a momma cat and her 3 kittens. Talk about drama! I never thought I would have cats under the deck but most of all I never thought I would have a dog that screamed!
Instead of having the girls going out in the backyard to do thier business, they have been going out to the front yard with us keeping a close eye on them because of the weekend traffic. Hopefully the pest control or my sister can come and take them away so we can be normal again.
