The Possum Saga Continues: Free Willie Episode

It's quite the adventure, the Minnesota springtime. I was convinced the Possum hadn't left the garage and was holed up under the steps. As I took the broom and tried to shew him out the other night, he was gone. I thought he'd ran outside, but then the next day I noticed that there was an 8 inch opening leading under the steps in the garage.

Great.
So, I waited for the right time. On Saturday, Shammai and I decided we were going to trap the possum. It would be an afternoon adventure. I called Cowboy to ask where the live trap was and he thought it was a very bad idea. "You don't know what it's like having a live, scared animal in a trap

Well, P-shaw. I don't care. I want to trap that sucker so he doesn't die under the steps and stink up the place.

Anyway, Shammai and I walked outside, he played on the snowbank on the way to the barn to hunt for the live trap and I was about to move the truck out of the garage in preparation. I walked on the passenger side of the truck, noticing more Possum scat...

I was looking for more signs of Possum invasion and happened by the large black trash barrel. I happened to look in the big black barrel and there at the bottom of the barrel lay my dear friend Mr. Possum. What an adventure. I called Shammai and we both stared at him a few times until I dragged the barrel closer to the burning barrel in the woods and laid it down so he could escape on his own.

Ugly as sin, but I am glad I freed Willie.
