STORY OF THE DAY.
YESTERDAY, I was down at my lovely in-laws house, going through some of the stuff we've been storing there.
While in the shed, I picked up a Storm trooper helmet and discovered a family of possums living inside the helmet.
VERY carefully, I lifted the helmet and gently passed it over to father-in-law (Vic) to carry outside.
I turned back to the task at hand only to be greeted by another possum that had been living underneath the first helmet.
He saw me and quickly scampered up the wall to safety.
At this point I hear a sudden yell from Vic and I turn around to see possums running up his arm and onto his head.
Casper, upon hearing "Poppy" (Vic) yell, raced over to help.
The possums lept from Vic's head, onto Caspers back and clung on for dear life as Casper tried to shake him off.
So...I see...Vic dancing around like a mad clown while Casper is being ridden around the paddock by a possum that thinks he's just entered some demented Rodeo.
So wish I'd had the thought to whip out my camera...but I didn't.
So today, Casper got his own plush possum as a reminder of his time as a bucking bronco at the 1st Possum Rodeo.
