Frightening for sure.Thank goodness your cats did not try to tangle with it or you would have had a bigger problem. I hate possums. I had an encounter with one in my garage. He was in a box rummaging around. Those pink beady eyes scared the bejesus out of me, so I locked him inside, intending to have my hubby take him outside to release him. Before that happened he had eaten his way out of the top of the box. That is fair warning to you because yours could get back through that dryer vent if he wants something bad enough. Be careful.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-83104270889373931102015-07-03T19:29:39.541-05:002015-07-03T19:29:39.541-05:00NB, no you didn't miss a post.

I'm glad you got it out of the house without mishap, and found its entry point so you could seal it off. Our friends there are always finding some kind of critter in their house, and in nice weather, like to leave their un-screened back doors open, which invites even more of them in. During one of our visits there, a bird flew inside, and the four of us were chasing it around the house at 3AM. (Much laughter was involved, as you can imagine.) After that, we gave them a net to catch intruding birds, and they've used it multiple times, too. Even used it once to nab a squirrel.<br /><br />Happy Fourth, cowboy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-70123369868753644942015-07-03T08:49:05.055-05:002015-07-03T08:49:05.055-05:00It would afford better results than a broom and a ...It would afford better results than a broom and a flashlight.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-90045369246859860112015-07-03T08:47:01.757-05:002015-07-03T08:47:01.757-05:00It was a big surprise, to say the least, and I'...It was a big surprise, to say the least, and I'm going to take every precaution to make sure it doesn't happen again.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-6402956212096673642015-07-03T04:34:27.237-05:002015-07-03T04:34:27.237-05:00Time for a 12 gauge Time for a 12 gauge Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787024407420088973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-91915174185720522282015-07-03T03:14:50.669-05:002015-07-03T03:14:50.669-05:00That must have been really a scare.
