Opie the Opossum

My dog Toby can be a daschund (I never know if I am spelling that correctly). Someone said once that dashchunds (maybe if I spell it differently each time, I will understand it properly one of the times) were originally bred to hunt and kill gophers. It totally is practical to me. He is my protector. Even when the remainder of my family could care less what I am doing, Toby is following me around (to be fair, he might just be looking for me dropping food he can snag).
Anyway, last night I allow him to in the market to pee one final time before bed and he didn't can be found in and I heard a racket of barking and snarling outside my bedroom door. I went out to take a look (and to generate him be quiet prior to police, FBI, CIA and neighborhood watch were called) and I saw he an enormous (okay, I exaggerate, an incredibly, large) possum in their jaws and the man was throwing it around like a rag doll. I immediately considered rabies. He gets his shots regularly just for this very reason. So now, to increase the thunderous noise during my backyard, I started screaming at him "You're gonna get rabies from that thing! Drop it now!" He, of course, ignored me completely and tossed the one thing even more. I know I should love all of God's creatures, but I find possums really repugnant. I apologize to anyone who thinks they are cute. And, incidentally, you need to seek professional help.
So there I am, wrestling having a dog that's wrestling using a possum. Someone should have gotten it on film. I finally got him from it and shoved him inside. Now is when you must tell your children to stop reading. But  Possum removal Ringwood  will say, no cute, fuzzy animals were harmed on this story. However, really, really ugly ones were. I went over to look (carefully) with the possum. It was toast. I could not bring myself to throw it within the garbage at 10 pm. So I attended bed.
This morning Toby could barely contain himself he wanted to go outside so bad. I was not fooled into thinking his bladder was that full. No dummy, moi. So I went outside and low and behold - the possum was gone! Either Harry Potter came to visit and transfigured it into an ivy leaf or, it really wasn't dead. I guess "playing possum" it not just an old saying. So, all's well that ends well.
