Funny thing is I actually did that before.

It was the biggest possum i think I have seen and it was harrassing me so I did have to smack it seventy-billion times....just to make sure it wasn't playing possum with me.. They are nasty little critters!

Ever notice how they only play possum once you've messed with them? According to "Ranger Rick" they're supposed to "drop dead" when scared!!!

Ranger Rick...lying to me.

squishy....shot guns work too..


I think we need a hug a possum day

Speaking of what breed that "cat" is....I think they call that 9 Lives

Careful! Sometimes when you kill one of those 7-8 of these show up in the yard:

Then the guilt overwhelms you and you feel compelled to find a wildlife rehabilitator to take them in.... sigh

We had one in the front yard. I think I killed when when I made it eat dewormer. Next time I will research before medicating. :O

How would you make it eat dewormer?

Oops, according to the information I got from the USPS when I mailed him, he wasn't suppose to arrive before tomorrow.

Oh so this is "Bug"

I think it looks lonely. Try going out there and picking it up and giving it a nice big hug!

I think it is the same one that lives under my shed for the last couple years. Never saw it looking this round before. If it is, then last year I was able to get it to play dead, then pet it. Soft fur like a kitten. Now it's very skittish. Caught it in a trap a few times too. Wasn't happy with me. I'm OK with possums.

If it messed with the chickens, it'd be gone. Maybe squished.

Or you raise them...like I did.

*sigh*

They're so CUTE at that age. Until they become the gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, grinners of death we all know them to be.

Found 9 of those in the yard once. They all met Mr Shovel also. They went squishy squish just like their mother did.

Last time I had one of those kitties, I grabbed it by the tail, and he went for a ride over the fence...WHEEE!!
I just didn't want to have to wash off my shovel.

Why am I supposed to wash the shovel? I just let the dogs clean it.

What, they are playing with the squishy-ed remains anyway!

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Ah! Don't let the dogs lick it! Possums are BAD for carrying distemper!
