OK, it isn't quite midnight... but I spent the last 20 or so (give or take) minutes chasing Hermione around the back yard with a hose and a flash light.
You see, she wanted to go out.... eagerly!!! I heard "the bark," which meant POSSUM! I headed outside. The possum was in the right corner on the ground vs. the fence, NOT GOOD! In my own personal panic, I grabbed the hose and turned it on full blast. While I was running around the yard trying to get Hermione away from the possum, I tried to squirt her away with the water. At one point, Hermione had the darn thing in her mouth (she did this a one other time). I swear it was dead. Of course, each time I thought that it wasn't. Live animals that are not domesticated scare the crap out of me, especially at midnight with poor lighting. She carried the thing 2 different time. It ran away each time after pretending. I screamed each time. It finally ran to the side walk ... again it looked dead... Now, that was when I was able to get Hermione away and in the house. Leaving our dear friend there. I hope and pray it is GONE by the AM. I am shaking, sick to my stomach, and very pissed at my dog.
Hermione is currently quite went on a huge "time-out" in the living room. She got up to move, I made her sit her ass back down. I realize that she is an animal, it is in her nature, BUT damn that was GROSS!!!!
