Introoder! Part 2
Holy Hockey Sticks!
In the last post we saw mom think she got rid of the possum in the garage by chasing him out waving a 2x4 at him. Well, she didn't actually witness him leaving, but he ran in the general direction of the open door.
The last two mornings when she has gone out to feed Zolie, her dishes had been moved all around and the water was half gone. And there was a big turd by them today.
She suspected the possum was still in the garage.
This morning Scooby wanted to go out really badly. She let him out and he went directly to the spot where the possum ran to hide the first time she saw him Monday night. She gently pulled the boards leaning against the wall and there it was! Staring at her with beady eyes and pointy nose. She grabbed a broom and tried to flush it out, but it ducked behind more stuff.
She gave dad the news when he came home from work tonight. He moved the vehicles out, put on his gloves, grabbed his hockey stick and started pulling junk away from the walls. Out came the beast! As we said yesterday about 15 pounds, a big one! It ran across the floor to hide behind a wheelbarrow. Well, it so happened he was right by the side door that opens to the outside. Dad got that partially open, kept prodding the creature with his stick. It tried to dodge him and get under some shelves but dad kept blocking it with the blade of the stick and pushing it towards the open door.
That thing did not want to go outside. Well who would, there is a snow drift there, but dad gave it no choice and out it went!
We hope nature will take its course, the possum will realize it is winter and go find a burrow or whatever it is they do this time of year.

Oh wow, we are so glad yer Beins chased it away!
Wow! That was one stubborn critter!
AAaaaaaiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Mommy is having conniptions just reading about that hungry slavering possum...
Sheesh, we hope it takes the hint this time.
He's gonna freeze his nipples off in the cold. Who can blame him for wanting to be in the garage? though in general, don't garages stink? I'm not sure which is worse...
I think that possum thought it HAD found your burrow - your garage! Bad luck for him.
What an adventure... Good work scooby (oh and dad too).
That's quite the adventure! We can understand how Mr. or Ms. Possum wouldn't want to leave the "hotel," but s/he needs to find a more appropriate place to spend the winter.
Good job hunting down that intruder, Scooby!
Well I hope it doesn't migrate this way. We have enough critters down here to chase off, or should I say catch and kill.
Oh, poor possum. He just went from heaven to hell. But living in your garage isn't the best of ideas. He does need to go be with his family.
Good thing he's gone now!
We hope that possum is gone for good now!!
Our neighbor catches them in a live trap and then takes them over to a nearby park and lets them go.
Good work evicting that possum!
It all sounds scary!
