Opie the Opossum

My dog Toby is often a daschund (I never know if I am spelling that correctly). Someone said once that dashchunds (maybe if I spell it differently every time, I will are right one of many times) were originally bred to hunt and kill gophers. It totally is practical if you ask me. He is my protector. Even when the remainder of my loved ones could care less what I am doing, Toby is following me around (to get fair, he could be seeking me to lower food that he can snag).
Anyway, yesterday evening I allow him to over to pee one last time before going to bed anf the husband didn't are available in and I heard a racket of barking and snarling outside my bedroom door. I went out to take a look (and to produce him be quiet prior to police, FBI, CIA and neighborhood watch were called) and I saw he'd an enormous (okay, I exaggerate, a very, large) possum as part of his jaws and that he was throwing it around being a rag doll. I immediately regarded rabies. He gets his shots regularly just for this very reason. So now, to increase the thunderous noise during my backyard, I started screaming at him "You're gonna get rabies from that thing! Drop https://www.paulthepossumcatcher.com.au/ !" He, needless to say, ignored me completely and tossed one thing some more. I know I should love every one of God's creatures, but I find possums really repugnant. I apologize to anyone who thinks they're cute. And, mind you, you must seek a specialist.
So there I am, wrestling using a dog who is wrestling using a possum. Someone really should have gotten it on film. I finally got him from it and shoved him inside. Now is when you should inform your children to halt reading. But I will say, no cute, fuzzy animals were harmed on this story. However, really, really ugly ones were. I went in the market to look (carefully) with the possum. It was toast. I could not bring myself to throw it within the garbage at 10 pm. So I went along to bed.
This morning Toby could barely contain himself he wanted to go outside so bad. I was not fooled into thinking his bladder was that full. No dummy, moi. So I went outside and low and behold - the possum was gone! Either Harry Potter came to visit and transfigured it into an ivy leaf or, it wasn't dead. I guess "playing possum" isn't just a well used saying. So, all's well that ends well.
Ode to Opie
There once was a hideous creature
Who, really the need to pee, sure
That he was alone,
He strayed faraway from home,
And my dog rearranged his features.
