There is a possum in my kitchen!

[Beekissed]

As I am writing this, there is a wild possum crouched under my kitchen table.

I know.....why, you ask?

I let my cat inside for a little TLC and noticed him looking out the storm door with a fearful look on his face. I open the door to investigate and a possum calmly strolls into my kitchen.

Just like that.

Like he owned the place and was wanting to know when supper was on the table.

So....feeling a little ornery, I go get the dogs and bring them in. Wasn't really thinking about the hullabuloo that would follow. Gonna teach that possum to walk into MY house!

The dogs galloped into the kitchen, just glad to be a part of things! Saw the possum, walked over, gave it a sniff and moved on to the living room. Oblivious.

These vicious killers, who would never tolerate a possum strolling through the yard, think I have a new cat and they are not allowed to attack it while the alpha dog is standing there.

I sic them on it~"GET THE POSSUM!" I poke it with the broom to make it hiss.....Lucy lies down and watches me, Jake puts his nose in the trash can.....



I still have a possum in my kitchen. My camera is down on batteries and I can't get a pic but I swear to you, by all that is holy, there is a possum under my table and I can't seem to shoo it to the door......

Kris, wanna trade rats?

Well doesn't that just top off a fun day?

How on earth are you going to go to sleep tonight with a possum in your kitchen????

 

[Beekissed]

He's still there. I move a chair, grab his tail and drag him out into the middle of the room.....the dogs calmly watch. The possum slides out with his little star-shaped paws sliding along the floor......he really, really stinks!


The dogs watch as he waddles back under the kitchen table.

My son just pulled into the driveway....I don't think I'll tell him we have a possum under the table.........

Hee! Hee!

At this point I am tempted to say something like "Eat Mo' 'Possum", but I won't. If available, a .22 with CB Caps or rat shot would seem to be the way to go.

Let us know who wins.

It wasn't my son....darn it! Just road noises.......


I'm going to milk this for all the fun I can get out of it and then I'm going to pick him up by his tail and escort him to the door.

This is the rascal who has been eating all the cat's food! I have a notion to kill him but he's so very calm and matter of fact about it all, that I can't help but admire the stinky feller!

Don't worry, I'll be careful....rabies and all that.

Still.......wish you all could be here and see what size rats WV can produce!

How about a broom? shove him out the door with it? a spray bottle filled with water or water hose? Geez, I live in Texas and have never had one inside, just on my porch! This is better then a movie! LOL!!!

 

[Beekissed]

Son came home. Valiant man that he is, he says, "YOU do it! I'm not touchin' it!"

Then he has a seat and lets a huge fart. Looks at me and says, " If that doesn't kill it, nothing will!"

I think he finds himself ever so amusing........

And you guys wonder why I am a tough old cob who isn't afraid of mice and rats.....I'm surrounded by dogs and men who left their "mancards" at the door!

I picked him up by his tail and carried him to the door, gave him a toss. I swear he looked at me as if to say, "Some hospitality! I come for a visit, maybe a few munchies, and you act like I'm an in-law!"

Did I mention he really, really stunk?

"Send a woman in to do the job...." lol! Thank you for making me laugh so hard! I have been sick in bed for over a week and I thought I was going to wet my pants I was laughing so hard!
