"That Joker is Heavy!!"

After the uplifting "Christmas Miracle" blog, I have sad news to report. Lonnie, Leroy's city cousin, did not make it! I returned home Sunday night to find him laying in my driveway, obviously the victim of a hit and run. He went to that big tree in the sky where cars and possum traps can reach him no more!
Of course, me thinking that I am really tough, devised a plan to place him in my trash can last night since today is trash day. So when I actually got close enough to pick him up, I freaked. Totally couldn't even get close. I did what any reasonable 30 year old gal would do, I called Bill Brown, my resident handyman and rodent remover. (although, he does NOT do snakes, those I handle myself) Seriously, what is the deal with all the animals at the Hostel!?!? The Browns set their alarm 10 minutes early to come by the Hostel this morning to throw ole Lonnie in the trash for me. But, alas, just when I thought I was stuck in the house unable to walk to my car, guess who shows up!? RYAN!! I very easily talked him into throwing Lonnie in the trash before heading to eat at US Pizza. Ryan, you are awesome!! Thank you so much!! And I am sure that Bill Brown also thanked you this morning when he got to hit the snooze button one more time! :)


Poor ole Lonnie..


The only thing we could find to pick him up with was a Wal-Mart sack..very fitting and white trash, like! :)



I think this is the exact moment Ryan exclaimed, "this joker is HEAVY!" Apparently city possums weigh more than country ones!



Does anyone know if putting dead animals in your trash can is illegal?! Wait, I don't want to know!!



Yeah, Ryan!!! And yes, he did go wash his hands!! :)

krista,krista,krista! only at your house! the following reasoning is from chuck: "city opossiums are fatter because they eat more. city opossiums eat more because they are richer than country opossiums. city opossiums are richer because they sell crack!"

Oh Krista!!! Seriously, you lead a much more exciting life them me. I have no random animals at my house (well there has been a white rabbit sighting.. but that is hardly exciting) And let me just point out that a "sack" is still the funniest term to me and I spotted a Dr. Pepper box in your garbage! Well done!

xoxox
