Unlikely Friends

[DizzyDigger]

Looked out on the front yard the other night, and mixed right in with the
raccoons was a big 'ol possum. Oddly, the coons didn't seem to mind
it one bit..not so much as a warning growl telling it to keep it's distance.
A few minutes after this they were just inches apart, and acted like they
were old buddies.

And then this one shows up...

Now, I do try to be kind to critters, but as hard as I try I'll never think of a
possum as "cute", and as possum's go, this one is the ugliest of them all.
It's skull seems especially narrow, and it's got a big eye on each side. Not
to mention a mouthful of teeth and the personality of a rock.

In truth, I'd much prefer the 'coons be intolerant, and chase both of 'em
completely out of their territory.

They get in my barn and pee and crap all over my square bales of hay. I then have to destroy the hay they do it on . There deposits are VERY DANGEROUS to horses. One thing is EPM. EPM is a neurologic disease that horses get from eating infected opossum feces.

I will take the opossums. They don't get rabies are almost immune to venomous snake bites and eat ticks. I don't have any hay so they are welcome in my yard. I wish they would chase the raccoons and armadillos off.

When they show up in my barn I will call you and you can come and get them. I will put out live tyraps ok ?
