Yikes!!!

So there I was, making dinner and watching a favorite TV show.
Had a nice day.
One daughter at ballet.
The other working on a research paper.
When the phone rang.
Me: "Hello"
K : "OMG...Suzanne, you will not believe what was walking
between your house and the neighbors, crossed the street to my yard,
sniffed around the basketball hoop
and then wandered into the empty lot!!!!
Me: "Ummm...do I really want to know this???"
K: "Yes!!! It is the BIGGEST Florida Panther you have ever seen!"



In case you're wondering, I am not one of those people who gets a kick out of living in the Discovery Channel.
I am used to seeing a bobcat in my back yard.
But now I'm thinking it wasn't a bobcat but a baby panther...
because it did look like this.

Beautiful in a wild kind of way.
So what's the big deal?
I walk my dogs at night...sometimes more than once.
And sometimes Maui gets spooked by things I can't hear or see...
but he drags me home anyway.
And this dog LOVES his walks so that is always kind of
Creeeeppppyyy!!!!!!!
And little Freddy is getting older so sometimes
I just let him run down the stairs, do his thing and then come back in.
(Look at my boy in his "mohawk" hairdo:-)


I have a Key West style home,
meaning we go up the stairs to get in the front door...
and the area under the stairs is open...
very pretty...
and now very creepy.
ANYTHING could be under there.



There have been times my dogs go out the front door
and just sniff under the stairs as they go down.
Like I said...YIKES!!!
Well, that's my news for the day.
See ya...
