But I believe I conveyed my true love for my new pet.
And, I sure felt his love back.
You see, it’s like this: I think Clarence needs more fiber in his diet. He loves Cheerios. Every morning I line about 20 Cheerios up on the deck. And he follows and eats them. (Grandwrex think I’m a genius)
This afternoon he was having a tummy ache. I know this to be true because he kept laying on his back with a pained look.
I have a puppy pee tray on my deck. He would go to it and stop. Putting his chin on the edge. Looking dejected.
In my vast zoological knowledge I decided he needed to do a number 2. (A ‘deuce’ to you less than mannerly folks)
So. …I sneak up behind him and gingerly put my hands over him. (I had to pretend he wasn’t nasty)
I picked him up and placed him on the puppy tray. He did his business, hopped out and nearly ran to me. (Nearly, he don’t really run he bobbles).
Looked at me thankfully and got under my deck chair and went to sleep.
A thourougly colon cleansed 'possum is a sight to see.
He loves me. He really loves me.
But… that 'possum ain’t right!
I think Disney has an animated feature-length movie in the works about you. All the wild creatures come to you for loving care and understanding companionship. Then Bigfoot shows up, wreaking havoc and scaring all small critters, until Good Queen Becks-a-lot helps them understand “we’re all just not right.” Clarence and Bayliss action figures available in Happy Meals. Cartoon Network options a “Beck and Call” series. Carter’s launches a Clarence clothing line for toddlers. “Just not right” tee shirts become the latest craze.
You are truly a wonder, Beck! I mean it. There need to be T-shirts with your image on them – or, if you’re reluctant, at least a picture of that Beck’s beer cap – bearing the legend “A Mother to all creatures, great and small”.
You have to have the picture uploaded to a picture-sharing site (I used Imgur for the one I posted), then include a “direct link” to the picture in your post.
People often mistake the open-mouth hissing and drooling behavior of opossums as a sign of rabies. … In fact, rabies is extremely rare in opossums , perhaps because they have a much lower body temperature compared to other warm-blooded animals.
