Hi, Jane.

Hi, my friends! I'm still dopey from my pain pills so if I disappear, it's cause I fell asleep again.

George · « **Reply #184 on:** May 12, 2019, 10:59:06 PM »

Well, crap! There's a baby possum in my house!!

George · « **Reply #185 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:03:30 PM »

Here it is. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #186 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:04:44 PM »

Hopefully, I can get it out without hurting it, or it hurting me! I put Neve upstairs and blocked the stairs. Hopefully, she'll stay out of the way!

Jane · « **Reply #187 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:04:57 PM »

It is sooo cute. Has it hissed at you?

FINGERS CROSSED!

I hope I can stay awake long enough to find out what happened.

Yes.

I am laughing while knowing it is a scary sound to expetience inside your home.

I took out the shoes on the left to make room for it to get out, and I turned off some of the lights. I also have a fairly sturdy (and long) foam sword to try and push it out, but it's not going.

I can understand that, Jane. But I really just don't want either of us to get hurt!

Good evening.

Jane · « **Reply #195 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:22:03 PM »

I felt the same way when it happened to me. The difference is the one in our house had escaped from a box Bryan was keeping it in after saving its life.

Happy Mothers’ Day to all of our mothers, as well as all those for whom it is only their first name!

I haven't seen anything quite like this since Peter Greenaway's "The Draughtsman's Contract."

THE DRAUGHTSMAN’S CONTRACT was probably the weirdest movie I have ever watched. I am still shaking my head and it has been over thirty years since I saw it.

So, how are my NWesties? And their fur babies?

George · « **Reply #201 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:31:15 PM »

Whew! I got the possum out!

George · « **Reply #202 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:32:04 PM »

Since it was hiding under my sideboard, I figured that I had a little time, so I got a plastic colander from my kitchen.

George · « **Reply #203 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:32:19 PM »

Then, I was able to gently push it out from under my sideboard towards some empty bottles that I had next to my stairs.

George · « **Reply #204 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:32:54 PM »

I took away the bottles one by one and was able to get it away from the wall and I was finally able to gently put the colander over it!

George · « **Reply #205 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:33:33 PM »

I gently slid some cardboard under it and was able to pick it up, take it outside, open my back gate, let it out of the colander cage, and then get my butt back inside and close my sliding glass door!

George · « **Reply #206 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:33:40 PM »

George · « **Reply #207 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:35:40 PM »

And so ends my first (and hopefully, LAST) experience with a possum in my house!!

I was going to suggest the name "Betsy." That is the name I saved to name the calico kitten/cat I was going to get some day.

I once suggested the names Piesafe and Femur for a cat. They were not taken.

You know the song, "A Nightingale Sang in Berkekey Square" (I first heard of it from The Manhattan Transfer's version) where Berkeley is pronounced Barkly? I always wanted a cat named Berkeley (pronounced Barkly).

I did the play A NIGHTENGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE. I actually sang the song. PBS broadcast the play (not my production) with Joan Plowright.
