Creepy critters*

okay, I am back from Oklahoma and I had a welcome visitor today. I kept hearing this weird sounding noise in the back yard, but thought nothing of it. Even that cat was a little fearful looking. 

I went outside, looked up at the patio and noticed a foot (or more) long tail hanging through the wood slots. SO I went a little ways out and low and behold, there was a fuzzy creature. I couldn't see his face. I decided to go get my cell phone to take a picture of it. 

It had moved: I looked at a different position and slowly climbed on a white chair to get a better view, and I used the flashlight because it was dark outside.

 I then saw this this long tailed, furry possum bigger than Liz's cat "PC". I was freaked out and wasn't sure if it was going to jump on me, thankfully it looked as much scared as I was. It had two fangs and some sharp looking smaller teeth. I looked to the side for a moment.

All of a sudden I heard it chomping on something that looked like a big Bettle bug. It was salivating and sucking out the inside of whatever it was eating and chomping loudly. It was pretty disqusting. Then I got a closer look of what it was eating. It was a small avocado. After it was done eating, it let the avocado pit fall to the ground.. It was huge.

{EEEWWW...Pam, Penny, and Debbie, this is no joke... forget the tree rat, the bugs, the dogs, the frogs, I think this was the worst and it was on the patio roof of my backyard}. How do Liz and I get rid of it? Any ideas? See ya all soon...I have lots of things to blog about regarding my trip, so I will be writing y'all soon..
