The Possum

When Marty took the trash out to the road this morning he saw a possum sitting in the can amongst the garbage. He was in a hurry so he just dragged the can out to the road and hoped the thing would climb out when he was alone.
I walked passed the can a few times this morning and I couldn't see it in there so I hoped the same thing that it had climbed out when things quieted down.
Well I guess he just settled down in the trash to sleep the day away because when the garbage men came they got excited because they saw an extension chord that had been tossed because Lacey hit it with the lawn mower. Then there was a loud shout because the possum decided at that moment to wake up. It was the funniest thing watching those two guys trying to get that possum out of the back of the truck. When they finally did I was shocked!!! It was huge!!! It was bigger than our dogs. I have no idea how I could not see it in there. It must have burrowed clear to the bottom of the can. It waddled across the road and down the street. :) Maybe it will visit someone elses can next time. lol It really was funny.
