My Possum Named Minny

[Tanko]

We live in town but in a suburb. I think my area must be a possum haven. I've "exported" over a dozen possums over the last few years. I usually give them names of people I've recently seen, talked to, or commented with.

I think the latest one has Minny's eyes so that's what I named him (see below). Theses things s#it all over, smell exceptionally bad, and make the neighborhood dogs bark all night. Not sure if our Minny is the same way....

I have to live trap them because the wife is an animal lover. I take them to a local lake about 5 miles away and release them to their new home to continue their lives in peace. This one I let go with a Swisher Sweet cigar, a possum condom, and $100 freeplay at Bookmaker in honor of his namesake.

I've not figured out a way to keep them from popping up. I think they reproduce like bunnies.
Any ideas?




All in good fun. Just harrassing you Minny.

Yep. Wish I still had a dog. Right now all the possum does is crawl around the top of the fence and piss off all the neighbor dogs all night. Well, he did until I trapped him last night.

Glad you’re taking him to the lake instead of killing him .

Good karma for that !

Lets hope so Leisure. I could use some of that after the beating in NFL yesterday.

I’ll loan you this one that was in front of my house.

did you know???

"Opossums, sometimes referred to just as possums, are a benefit to ecosystems and a healthy environment beyond eradicating ticks. They will catch and eat cockroaches, rats and mice – in addition to consuming dead animals of all types (also known as carrion)."

I love all God's creatures

No animal or species belongs in a cage

....well, almost no one

I wish they'd take are of the rats, mice, roaches but I think the ones around my house are full after eating the neighbors pet food they leave out. They aren't going to work for it when its sitting out for them to take.

not good.

 

[tank28]

awesome possum!

 

[edawg]

They also eat ticks and their low body temperature means they don't carry or spread disease easily. They are actually a benefit to have around.

Never really seen any rats or mice. There are about 10 neighborhood cats that take care of those. Roaches abound. There are a lot of palm trees everywhere and roaches love palm trees.
