Stay Safe, Play Dead
Lucy caught yet another opossum. This one was smart(ish) and played dead. It’s pretty convincing looking.

Stinky Possum
Our ever watchful dog, Lucy, caught yet another possum. This time however, the possum was covered in some kind of really stinky goo that Lucy thought smelled fantastic. She thought it was so fantastic that she rubbed the possum all over herself and licked the poor thing almost clean. Notice the possum is quite wet from all the dog slobber, but some goo is still on its face. Needless to say, Lucy got a bath pronto while we let the possum make its escape.
She Did it Again….
Our dog, Lucy, takes her job of defending her yard very seriously.
She caught this possum Saturday night. Of the three that she has caught all have lived and that is only because they play dead. This one was pretty small. We brought Lucy in the house to give this little one time to make its getaway.
An Effective Possum Catcher
Our dog Lucy has been a busy girl keeping our yard safe from possums.
Lucy: I did it and am feeling slightly guilty.
Petey: I think its squeaker is broken.
Never fear, this little fella was just playing dead. Notice this possum has a lot of wet fur. Lucy is not only good at catching them, she is full service and gives them a bath too.
Possum: I am so out of here!
