"Mommy there is some kind of animal eating in our yard." Baby announces.
"It's true there is. It lives in that hole." Kid follows.
Rodent.
Sizable.
Grayish-Brown.
Bare tail (it makes me gag just to write it).
For fucking real.
I can't take anymore.
You know I have a SEVERE rodent phobia right?
You can think it's ridiculous all you want... It's not something I can control.
And you know I'm trying to sell my house.
And there is a big old rodent sitting right in front of my house.
WTF is going on?
Exterminators are being called.
But how will we leave the house until they can come?

I remember sitting and having dinner in the dining room of a lovely English Tudor home we were living in (in the ground swimming pool and all that don't you know)- anyway - and looking out the lovely bay window into our lovely backyard and there walking casually across the top of the lovely stone wall was THE BIGGEST UGLIEST RAT I have ever seen!!! I wanted out of that house so badly after that - it was awful and I really sympathize with you - wish I could be there to help you and you didn't have to go through this alone.
Oh no, Mrs. F it is just one thing after another. I'm so sorry!
What?!
This is insane! I literally am floored on this one.
Okay, I am saying prayers for you. For real.
So sorry, Mrs. Furious. That is just too much. Rodents ARE scary.

I'm hoping it's a gopher. Not sure since I'm too scared of it to get a good look. But it was out in the day (so not nocturnal... although I've seen plenty of rats in the day) and it lives in a burrow. Now I've seen since being gone that it also tried to dig a new hole. Hopefully that points to gopher. Still don't want a gopher either. Especially if it's going to eat my gardens. I still have to run at top speed from my door out the gate to my car without looking so I don't see it.
That's a possum, woman.
Tell me, doe sit look like this? They are big down here in the south when it gets hot.

inkelywinkely,
It doesn't look anything like a possum. It's more brown. It's smaller and it has a tail (again don't want to get too close) that is not pink but more mouse-like... but bigger animal than a mouse. I'll see if I see it today.
