Just before Hubby was about to leave for work this morning, this is what he found! A Possum had wedged himself, upside down in my bakers rack. The rack is right outside my kitchen door.
Hubby - being the great problem solver that he is, thought of a very creative way to get the possum out. A car jack! Kinda like a smaller version of the Jaws of Life. Very clever, that man of mine. I was concerned that he might get bit, if he wasn't quick, and careful. Well all was going well and then he realized that - the possum's tail was frozen around the rack. So...........
He proceeded to pour warm water on the possum's tail to try to thaw it out a little .......
Then, very carefully, he worked the possum's tail loose from the bakers rack.
Gently laying the rack on it's side, on a foam core board to let the possum go.
He's free!!!!! But wait... he's not moving. Mmmmmm.......let's see.........
Back Hubby comes with a big cardboard box.
A Possum house.
Possum inside, on a rag rug of mine. But wait........He needs to be warmer.......
So...off Mr. Possum goes, into a nice sunny spot, out of the wind. Laying on a rag rug, along with some diced chicken breast that hubby found in the fridge. Hubby then proceeded to plug in a heat lamp for him. Hopefully to warm him up after his rough, cold night.
And this is one of the many reasons why - we have been together for over 35 years.
Gotta love a man with kind heart, and warm soul.
He's a keeper!
