This is my prompt for #freewriters Friday prompt rabies hosted by @mariannewest
If this week has not been hectic enough, this is what happened this morning. I get up at 5:30 because I wanted to get an early start on setting up the yard sale. I do not let the dogs out until after daylight, this way the night animals have time to get to safety. I let the dogs out around 7:15.
Thirty minutes later my granddaughter's dog started barking like there was something there. I went to investigate and saw the homeless dog had an opossum penned to the ground. I yelled for my husband but he could not hear me.
I yelled at the dog and as soon as she lifted her head, I grabbed her collar and drug her to the house. I went back with a shovel and a rack. I was going to use the rake to push the opossum onto the shovel so I could carry it outside of the yard.
My husband saw the shovel and came running outside yelling don't bury it. I knew that it was just playing opossum and was not going to bury it.
I do not think that this dog has its rabies shots, I am going to have to get some money from her owner so I can take her to a vet and at least get that shot.
Out of all the pictures that I take, I did not take one of the opossum.
