-- a place I try to avoid at all costs.
But my puppy was hungry and that is where the 50 lb bag of dog food is stored, so for him I went. I lifted up the bag from the crate it's kept in, looked down and promptly dropped it (tg it was only a 1/4 full
). Screaming bloody murder as two sets of beady lil eyes that belonged to two *smallish* possums stared eye to eye with me.
They started hissing (do possum's even hiss?) and bared their sharp teeth. So all of this commotion brought forth the 2 year old black lab to investigate. Dragging him away was nearly impossible, because he'd caught their scent.
I get set to mow the lawn and I notice that the aforementioned lovely dog had left me a mangled bunny in the middle of the yard. Braving another trip to the cellar to get a shovel so that I could dispose of the unfortunate bunny body, carefully avoiding the area of the hissing possums all the while. The thought occured to me, where is their mother? The bigger possum??
After my chores I come back into my house dreaming of finally taking that hot bath, to find there was no power.
Did I mention it's hotter than hell today? No power = no airconditioner
My son's baseball pants (for a game that starts in a few hours) are in the washing machine filled with sudsy water. Waiting a few hours I decided to wring them out as best as I could to put them on the line, and hope that the hot sun would dry them quickly.
Wouldn't you know that as soon as I finish that messy process, and get back inside the electricity comes back on before my ass hits the couch? *lol*
btw -- how do you *safely* trap possums? and do they really hiss?
Someday's I hate living in the country.
