Flying squirrels

[primsong]

Pulled open the blinds in the dining room this morning and the first thing I saw was a flailing flying squirrel. Literally spread-eagled in mid-air with all four little paws waving around like a cartoon character.

Seems the movement at the window startled it right off the roof of the little squirrel bird-feeder it was looting for sunflower-seeds. X-D He landed and tried to regain what dignity he could by pretending that hadn't happened. *snert snert*

Thanks for the picture in my mind of your dog barking at the possum. It reminded me of my big boy cat who would literally throw himself against a sliding glass door to get at the cats outside.

When we were little kids we were once confronted by a possum in a yard full of very tall grass. We thought that a cat was in this disused yard, and were very alarmed to see a possum appear (the only ones that we were familiar with were the ones by the side of the road). It hissed at us, and being little kids, we ran shrieking back to our grandparents' house. :)

ETA: The bird icon is, of course, to excite the cats and dogs. :)
