Well! More excitement before bed just now! The dogs ran something out of my barn. BOO was livid! As were Abilene, Amarillo and Montanna! Drover was not so sure about the ruckus! What ever it was they were on it for 15 minutes after they chased it up “My Road” on to the mountain.
So I got the Gator out and a good stick (one never knows) should take the rifle! But didn’t, and up on the mountain I go! Drover and Montanna came back and showed me the way. I knew from the sound of their voices they had something treed ! Sure enough Amarillo was half way up a poplar sprout (more like a bush) and about 3 feet off the ground with BOO pointing where the thing was! In the light of the Gator I could see it was a Possum!
Soon enough the tree branch broke and down came the possum! 4 English Shepherds made short work of him!
Now, Possums are fair game for my dogs. They carry a disease that affect horses called EPM and it will ruin a horse if he catches it. So I appreciate the dogs doing their work. Plus the Possums will eat ducks and their eggs! No, Possums are not welcome here!
