Thread: Wongo 4 : possums 0

What's with the national park business.

Plead self defense....

You sure you haven't just caught the same one four times?

Made it home in good time the first few times, but got sidetracked by a sexily turned tail end on the last trip?

We used to have possums, then we got 2 boxers!!!
Last possum we saw/heard was 6 months ago, the dogs bailed it up on the veranda near the roof, whacked it like a piniata with the broom and sent it flying onto the lawn with the dogs in hot pursuit!! Haven't seen one since!!!

Possums? Never heard of one or seen one in this part of the world. Out in the bush, we have our wildlife under control - all the neighbours have rottweilers or dobermans, so the possums have given up the struggle and moved into town

Rocker

just like schwartszenegger.... "they'll be back..."

I'm with you Felixe my dogs chase the possums away every night, As i feed the wild birds the possums thinks it's there for them too but my dogs have other ideas

Stuff the possums, I say. What the hell did they ever do for you?

Ferret the miniature Fox Terrier ensures we don't have any around the house, only in the little forest up the driveway, and that's where they stay.

You do realise that that's illegal don't you Scott.

I hope the NSWPWS doesn't find out. :eek:

You may live to regret that!

I know I've posted it before, but five or six years ago, a bloke who happened to be a greyhound trainer was caught with something like 80 possums in his wagon, parked near an inner Brisbane City park.

He was arrested and charged with catching possums (or whatever).

When the case came to trial he claimed that he had collected them all from his greyhound training facility, and was releasing them in the city so they would be safe from his dogs.

We had heaps of possums until we got the two pet snakes. Although the snakes are still young and small, I think it could be the smell of snake droppings and the smell of the shed skins.

It might also just be a lucky coincidence. The possums have been there for 16 years that we know about and they disappeared and stayed away since the snakes arrived 18 months ago.

We are currently collecting the snake droppings so we can take them around to Meg's parents place. They have heaps of possums so the results will be interesting.

Brother Borer

This sounds like a delightful gift for your parents-in-law. I trust that you will present it in a suitable box. Perhaps a dovetailed creation?

I can see it now

"Oh thanks, Rob! What a lovely little box! What's inside? (Long pause) ........Oh! It looks like ..... No it can't be..... can it?"

What a waste. They taste nearly as good as cats.
