Look what I found in the pool this morning

 I found this little guy hanging on for dear life at the edge of the filter.


Scared me to see those little beady eyes staring up at me, but I fished him out with Milan's toy boat and tried to dry him off. I know he looks like an evil little rat rodent (NOT a rodent this time, a marsupial!), and he was considerably less cute right after his little swim.


But, scary teeth or no, the poor guy had been in the water for way too long and was shaking and shivering.  After I toweled him off I bundled him up and left him behind some bushes in the sun to warm up. A few hours later he was gone. Clearly the offspring of our visitor way back in August. Hope the little guy finds his family tonight.

What is he? I mean, more specifically than a marsupial? You guys have the most fabulous backyard!
