Patience Pays Off For Maddie

Maddie loves to sit at the end of our patio (esp in the evenings) to watch over her domain in hopes some kind of animal dares to enter. Her patience paid off AGAIN. She came to the back door with another opossum in her mouth. Standing there so proud of herself she looks so cute..... but YUCK. I told her to drop it and come in the house, which she did. It was hard to tell right away if was dead or alive. This time I ran upstairs for a flashlight and camera. I put her in a room and closed the door so I could open the screen door to take a picture. By the time I was ready to take the picture the little guy had his eyes open. I snapped these (without being brave enough to go outside) before he finally ran off. Good thing Maddie is gentle and is such a sweetie but I wish she would stick to bringing me her toys.
