Playing Opossum in Dallas: Saving Our Wildlife

It’s 12:45 am in Dallas, Texas right now… I just took our kitchen garbage out to the trash can and noticed one of our neighborhood stray dogs laying in the middle of the street.

As soon as they see you, they dart for cover… You may not have thought anything of it because we’re so used to it.

Imagine that… Imagine a world where a wolf would just walk up to you as though you were it’s friend. How amazing would that be? This issue [ ... ]

Cockroaches 5 Inches Long in Texas

They’re called water bugs or Palmetto bugs, but they’re actually American cockroaches and they’re huge. They can fly, they run fast and will even come back to life on you after they’ve been smashed. When we lived in Louisiana, they were a real problem especially when it rained or got cold as they’d find any tiny hole to get into your home. We actually set mouse traps for them and they worked! They’re so large, you can hear them shuffling around in cupboards and on tile floors, even though we keep everything really spic and span. Tonight, we just got rid of our 4th [ ... ]

I’ve seen photos, heard them pecking, videos and know a bit about them, but have never seen one before.
