OPOSSUM.

Last night Ron and I were fast asleep, Anderson had stayed the last night night at his Nanny's house here in Shawnee. (They are moving back to Denison tomorrow) I took a bendryl so I would rest better, I don't sleep well when Ron or Anderson isn't at HOME. Anyway I hear Bo, this morning at 1:30am..This huge yelp crossed with a bark noise. I send Ron to the door to hush him, which he did.
Ron: Bo you better hush it up RIGHT NOW.
Just about the time he got back to the bed, Bo started it again. So this time Ron goes over to the door, mumbling under his breath the whole way there and throws open the door and hits the light and starts in again.
Ron: Bo. I said you better.... OH MY GOSH. Good job BO. Babe Bo has a possum cornered out here.
Mindee: A WHAT?
Ron: A possum come look.
So I jump out of bed and run over there and sure enough he had a possum cornered with its mouth wide open. That dang thing was frozen solid and was not moving. I am yelling at Bo trying to keep him away from the varmint and the next thing I know Ron comes barrelling out the back door in his under ware and flip flops with a golf club and a big plastic toy bucket.
Mindee: Now what in hell are you going to do with those Ron Duffell?
Ron: I'm gonna throw this bucket on top of it and trap it and call animal control.
Mindee: ... and the golf club?
Ron: just in case...
So he tosses the bucket - his the dang thing, which doesn't move - but misses.
Mindee: alright. Now what?
So I tell him to get a rock and throw at it. He does, hits it right on the head and it moves about 6 inches. I said you are going to have to chuck it. SO I picked up 2 rocks and rapid fire, missing both times but the thing RAN off into the yard.
...so did BO.
I called for him but he was busy chassin' he didn't hear a word I said. Now 2 weeks ago we had a skunk shimmy under our house, last night it was a possum. I LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN YA'LL.
Anyway, after it was all said and done Ron and I laughed our butts off and thought maybe we need to get a gun. (I think a paintball or bee bee gun would work fine)
