Things We Would Rather Not Encounter

At 6:30AM we were greeted by this thing at our car! OMG!!!!

Sugar Land Police Department: May I help you?
Me: Uhhh ya. I think you need to send someone out here to pick up a rabid opossum.
SLPD: Where is it at?
Me: In the parking lot below my apartment.
SLPD: Is it dead?
Me: No it is alive and it is walking in a circle. I think it may bite someone who is unsuspecting he is there.
SLPD: Well don't touch it (I am thinking at this point did she really just say that?). I will send someone ASAP.

So the 5-0 arrives.

The poor two young officers come out, with their Starbucks coffee mind you, and inform me it is a baby. One of the officers spread his arms out and said "the adults are this big". Nasty.

SLPO: We called Animal Control and they won't get here until at least 8:00AM.

Me: Can't you just put it in the back of your car or something?

SLPO: No.

Me: Can you shoot it? Or use your taser on it? LOL

SLPO: No.

Me: Hmmm...my husband threw his coffee on it...

Animal control finally came out to pick it up. Young guy with a trap, scooped the thing in and put it in the truck. Off it went. Adios!!!
