What is the most interesting / scary / funny / strange thing that you've found in your house when you woke up in the morning?

About 5 this morning there was some sort of ruckus in the house, kind of a banging and bumping and jangling. The dogs were agitated. Dakota kept pacing and panting and then she’d plop down in front of the bedroom door, like she was guarding us.
I got up, turned on lights, but couldn’t see anything so I went back to bed.
It quieted down soon after and I went to sleep.
Got up a couple hours later, drank coffee on the deck, then came into our little computer room to start checking messages.
The dogs were worried about something in the corner of the room, about 5 feet behind me. They couldn’t get to it because of an easy chair.
I went to investigate….and the first words out of my mouth were “Oh my.” There was a critter looking up at me like, “Yeah. Tell me about it. Would you please put those dogs outside? They’re scaring me.”
So I put the dogs out.
My husband was still asleep, but woke up right quick when I said, “Rick…there’s a possum in the house.”
It took about 15 minutes for animal control to get there. It was weird typing along on fb about the possum, when he was just quietly sitting there in the corner, right behind me.

Life is interesting.
