Beyond fear, or rather a Journey beyond fear.

Went to let Tom Tom (aka Tommy) out to the bathroom just a few moments ago.  As I was letting him out a possom ran into the house, right by me, it went straight for the pantry.  I was the only one home, accept Tom Tom, and I closed the door to the pantry, wonder how the heck I was going to get him out, I live in a small house, and truly wonder how this little soul knew where the food was, I put Tommy in his cage, and opened the door, and he was quite comfert eating the potatos, but he hissed, and growled almost like a dog, I didn't want to hurt him, I just wanted him to go back outside.  I called my dad, and he told me that he liked cat food, so I made a trail to the door, but not outside, and he ate it all the way to the open door, and ran back to the pantry.  So, I tryed again, he wasn't moving this time.  So, I closed the door and wondered what to do next, I am truly an amimal lover of all sorts.  So, I opened a can of Cat food, not dry this time, and I didn't open it all the way, and I sat it outside the door, he smelled it I could tell, and I have these things, I grab stuff off the top shelves, I am not sure what they are called, anyway I moved the can and finally it went outside.  I was scared, and my heart is still beating fast.  This is the second time this year, it was in the summer, I screamed because I didn't know it was in the house, and it ran out the open door.  After it was gone, I let Tommy out, and we went sniffing around where it was.  The fear was what if it would have gotten a hold of my Tommy, because he is so friendly he kisses all dogs, and cats in the face.  I worry about him meeting up with someone that doesn't want to be kissed.
