Opossum (and other animal) Crossing

Spring must be coming because the animals in the woods are starting to show. Last night Mocha and I were out in the backyard and I heard some rustling in the woods. And it went on and on. So I grabbed my giant flood/flashlight and there was an opossum ambling along out in the woods. Apparently they don't hibernate but I am claiming this sighting as a good sign. Forget that goofy groundhog. But speaking of groundhogs, I saw one of them scampering around out in the woods this morning. They DO hibernate so I am encouraged. To further usher in spring, I grilled ribs outside last night.

I bought myself another squirrel proof bird feeder with our tax return and it actually works. I have yet to see a squirrel on it (though they do hang around under it).

Looks like a nice day and week ahead. We still have some snow piles here and there. I had to drain off a lot of pool water from the melting snow.

Mocha is growing by the hour. A friend of mine let me borrow another crate so now we have one upstairs in the bedroom for her to sleep in at night, and one downstairs for the day. If she wasn't teething, we would just let her roam the kitchen during the day (we have it gated off). But I am afraid she will chew up curtains, chairs or whatever.
