LOL! My clan did the same thing one early morning "emergency" outside trip. When I could pull them all off the object of their fury, there was a young possum, belly up, little legs stiff in the air! i'll be swiggered if I'm going to bury a possum at 3 o'clock in the AM, thought I, so I scooped him up on a shovel and put tool and body outside the fence to take care of in daylight. Well, when I got my courage up to get the burial detail underway, imagine my surprise when I found the shovel empty! That little critter had been "playing possum"! I never told the Yorkies of their failed mission! |
