terror POSSUM raid fails, tui chomps possum dead
A journal entry stamped: January 6th, 2008
moments ago, our lives were saved by the heroic actions of tui in a midnight battle between loyal CANINE and fierce POSSUM
We had returned from a pleasant dinner with carl and tsering. Having retired to bed the three of us lay in bed unsuspecting.
Unaware that mortal danger scratched its way up the stairs. TERROR etc.
In the dark of the night a terrible possum crept into the safety of our house. One moment, Tui lay sleeping.
(Actually, I was lying there wondering why he hadn’t gone to see to some drunk kids wandering past in the road outside. I must be getting a bit reactionary in my old age. Git ma gun! Dem kids outside agin!)
The next he sprang to his feet and raced downstairs. A brawl ensued in the living room, and when the dust had settled a possum had fallen. CRUNCH CRUNCH.
Enticed by the smell of human baby sleeping, this VICIOUS CRITTER had the temerity to burst into our safe haven.
The vicious New Zealand possum is widely feared, for once they have svent of a human prey they rarely desist until they have done their worst.
However this foul beast had not banked on brave Tui.
And so we owe Tui our lives once more. Tui will be awarded the Glorious Bone of Ecological Consideration for his efforts tonight, and has snacked mightily on salami which is his flavourite.
Previously Tui has also despatched two possums and three rats. Thanks, Tui. We owe ya. […]
