Opossum R.I.P.

Our front porch had a bit of Amityville gross fly action which prompted me to demand C conduct an investigation. Sadly another dead opossum crawled into our side yard to die. It must be my evil neighbor using rat bait again.

C complained mightily and put on latex gloves and his respirator mumbling "Always Clees, always Clees". It's true he had to remove the last dead opossum. With his 3 trashbags and shovel, he solved this problem just as handily. I reminded him of the "No dead animal inside the house" policy told him not to bring the offending bag through the house just in case he was too lazy to unlock the side yard and come through the house. One never knows. Anyway when I went back into the house, I saw him with a trashbag trying to look suspicious. Of course he just grabbed the trash from the kitchen to get a rise out of me.

I could have paid these other guys in Florida who do wild life removal. Dead animal duty I feel is husbandly duty.
