Ewwww...

Ick! Ick! Ick!

We had a visitor Friday night that I hope never returns. When Katelyn and Thomas returned from the Astros game, they let the dog out into the back yard. He was okay for a couple of minutes, but then he began to bark hysterically. For Jack (the dog), this is unusual. He rarely barks, so we knew something had to be wrong.

We turned on the back patio light to see what was the problem, and this is what we saw:

Now, it's not like we live in Appalachia where these are served up for dinner. I have never seen one in our neighborhood or smeared across our streets.

I really hope this is an isolated incident. I may need a bigger, better fence if these creatures keep invading my backyard.
