Hide and Seek with Tweek

[fantastic_jackie]

Today, just as I was leaving to get my iPhone, Minni went ballistic. We had thought it was Squirrel, but...

Well. I'll let Minni tell the story below:


LOOK WHAT MINNI FOUND! COME SEE! COME SEE!!!



FINALLY! Minni's peoples came out of the house to see what was wrong with Minni!


Minni senses are tingling! *sniff sniff sniff sniff!* There is something here in Minni's backyard!


On the hunt: Minni will find it!


Getting closer...! Getting closer!!


IT'S RIGHT HERE! LOOK, MINNI'S PEOPLES! LOOK!!!


It's a Possum! XD Isn't he adorable? (Well, he is in this pic, at least. You didn't see his teeth!)

We named him Tweek - Porchae's idea - because he was rather twitchy. Poor little dude was scared out of his mind. He kept baring his teeth at us, but he didn't move. I half wonder if he was injured or stuck... I'll check in the morning. If he's still there... What do y'all think we should do? Obviously we can't touch him; are there services for that kind of thing?

WOW! You're pretty handy! :D Thanks for the tips!

Luckily we didn't need them. We've seen neither head nor tail of Mr. Tweek since Sunday. Which is probably for the best, but I bet he's still around here somewhere!

I once lived in a house that had a crawlspace that had an opening into the cabinet under my bathroom sink. (weird house!) I had a family of possums move in! I had to catch them and relocate them, it was a mom and four babies. I lured them out one at a time with dog food, and then kenneled them.

That house also had raccoons in the attic and squirrels in the walls. :-O
