So, we have a concrete bird bath that from time to time a critter knocks off the base ... we always assumed it was a deer as the top is pretty heavy. This morning my bride told me it was knocked off again, that means fix it. I guess it has been an opossum knocking it off all this time and I don't think he'll be knocking it off any more. Best yet I had no plans for dinner, anybody smoked an Opossum? :LOL: :LOL:
 
I hate those things. One was in a dumpster and I lifted the lid to throw in a garbage bag
and it opened it's gaping, tooth-lined maw and made this sort of howl-hiss sounds, basically
what you'd expect to hear in hell, and I screamed like a woman.

stupid possums.

I caught one in a box trap when I was a kid. When you open up the door, expecting to see a nice little cottontail rabbit, and instead you get that ugly mouthful of teeth... not a pleasant surprise at all.
 
By the looks of the base, right behind the possum, looks like the bird bath knocked the s**t out of it.

Had one dead in our stock tank/swimming pool for the kids. No water in the tank, or kids. I was surprised to see them
out this far west. You guys keep them nasty rats in your neck of the woods.

He broke that tile on an earlier event mid-winter. I have a heater in that bird bath that I had just taken out, might have been cartoon-like to see him electrocuted.

I'm still wondering was it really dead, or just playing possum?
