Late last night Lily was giving her usual hints that she wanted to go outside, so I tied her out back. After closing the door and walking just a few steps I heard her barking in an excited bark and figured she spotted a rabbit, neighbor, dog or whatever. She persisted and I went out to scold her and low and behold she was on the end of her rope with a possum cornered by the window well/garden by the back door. There was a edging fence between the possum and Lily. Then when I peeked around the door and it saw me it really was scared. I called jim out to see it and he went out and brought Lily in. When I checked a few min later it was gone of course. It must live nearby. Jim saw one in the driveway last summer when he drove in the driveway on a dark night. The shrew was cute-light brown in color with a pinkist snout and was about the size of a large cat with a rounded belly.
