    Possum.jpg

    All three of my dogs ran outside and paid no attention to the possum playin' possum. I put them inside and stood at the corner of the patio in the dark for about a minute and half and the possum slowly got up and made his merry way to the neighbors, pretty cool.

    Spider side.jpg

    Just hanging out under my truck. Thought he was a wolf spider, but not for sure. We have the huge garden spiders that put up there webs every night from my trees on the walkways on either side of my house. I try to get all my yardwork done before dark, otherwise I'm covered in their webs.

    I've killed a couple black widows around my front door and a brown recluse inside once. If I can't immediately identify the spider it gets squished.

    What you got around your house?

    I'm at work right now but we live at the head of a bay , about 60' from the Pacific Ocean at high tide where a creek that is the natural side boundary of our lot flows into the ocean . Lots of nature .

    We had a possum that kept visiting our yard, my dog broke out of his harness once chasing after it

    We have a big wolf spider in the shithouse at work, nobody kills it, it just strolls the hallway like a boss
