Holy shit...

I have the biggest possum I've ever seen in my backyard! It's running between my two sheds. Looks really fat, maybe it's preggers. Geeze, I don't want it to have babies under my shed, my two dogs will go crazy sniffing.

Maybe I should call someone to trap it, I don't want it hurt or anything. Don't want my dogs to get clawed/bitten by a pissed off possum either.

They're nocturnal, and usually my dogs only go out once after dark (except in the winter cuz it's dark at 5). So maybe it'll be ok.

I went down to put a load of laundry in, open the washer and there's a big frickin spider, come upstairs look out the back window and there these glowing eyes looking back. UUUGGGHHH!!

Happy Friday!

1. Animal control of some crazy private animal wrangler?

How about beating some garbage cans? Make a ruckus

3. There's one company that...

does it for the entire state. I looked it up, apparently it's illegal in most states for you to trap a possum. You have to have a licensed "trapper" to do it. Go figure.

From what I read, they're very difficult to chase away. Trapping is really the only way to get rid of one. If my dogs weren't a concern, I probably wouldn't pay it any mind.

All kinds of critters around here. Went outside one morning last summer and a groundhog (or something that looked like a groundhog) was taking a morning swim in my pool! I wouldn't get back in till it was shocked twice. LOL.

4. possums are the spawn of satan

they even sometimes look cute, until they start hissing, and they look like the queen from the Alien movies
