Our dog has the nickname Crazy Daisy due to her wild antics. Lately the spring weather has brought an increase in squirrel, rabbit and bird traffic to our yard. Daisy observes all this from our large picture window and wildly leaps on the windowsill to get closer to them. One night she was particularly wild so Matt looked out the window. Imagine our surprise when he announced there was a possum outside. We all ran to the window and watched the possum scavenge for birdseed from the ground below the bird feeders. No wonder Daisy was so crazy that night.
