The trappers....

Debbie decided something other than a squirrel was messing around on our patio at night. The bird bath being turned over in the flowerbed pretty much confirmed it for me so last night we set a trap. It was exciting until I got sleepy at 9 and went to bed. This morning I looked out and found we had a possum. I was disappointed because I was hoping for a raccoon. I've wanted to make a coon skin cap ever since I saw the Davy Crockett movie on TV when I was six. After looking this critter over I pretty much decided I did not want to make a possum skin cap....and Debbie refused to even consider looking up recipes for possum stew. She made me call animal control. They took our catch away before 8 this morning and I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. Debbie did get a few pictures for the family album though so he won't be forgotten. I have the trap set again for tonight. Hopefully I'll get my coon.
