The Abominable Opposum

So…we had an exciting adventure here a couple nights ago – an opossum in the house!! I was just chilling in the living room, and Frank was at the computer, when we heard a bunch of racket in the kitchen. So we go look, and a baby possum was just knocking over stuff, and breaking into my Ritz crackers! Frank had me watch the little scoundrel while he went to go tell Miss Spivey. She called the police, and Frank beat the poor little thing senseless with two steel sticks. So when the officer finally showed up, he said we weren’t in trouble or anything, but there was nothing he could do. But we did have a good laugh. Frank and I ended up taking the possum to some old bike trails here in Belleview – hopefully far enough it won’t come back!

That's really funny!! Did you ever figure out how it got in?
So did the 'possum live? We had one in our front yard and -true story- my brothers shot it 17 times before it finally died. They're tough little critters.
