Mommy can I keep him?

OK, I admit it. I'm a sucker for animals. I like all animals. I enjoy watching them in their natural habitat. I enjoy playing with the domesticated ones.

For the past few weeks, Water Pig and I have noticed that there is a house, not to far from work, which has their dogs up on the roof of the garage (the roof is flat). These dogs are in a large cage. There is NO shade anywhere. Now it hasn't been to terribly hot in Texas so we thought we would watch the situation. Yesterday it was close to 90 degrees and in an effort to shade these dogs, a blanket was laid over the cage. Well that was all it took. The SPCA has been notified. I'll adopt these poor pups if necessary!

About three weeks ago, a baby opossum was trapped outside of work. Last week, I spotted another opossum and notified facilities. I stipulated that they were to capture the opossum and release it in the country! Today, in the cage is the CUTEST baby opossum (he's black with black and white spotted ears). He has a white face and big black eyes. I just want to put him in my car and take him home.

I can see it now, I'm going to be that crazy old lady, who lives alone with all those animals!!
