I know- no pictures, it didn't happen. Yesterday I took some trash out to burn it in the barrel. Couple of cardboard boxes, an egg carton, a few plastic bottles. I threw a plastic bottle in first so the boxes wouldn't get wet in the bottom, started ripping up a box to throw in, and noticed a dead animal in the barrel. I thought "now who in the world would throw a dead animal in the trash barrel"? Then I saw the dead animal move. Upon further investigation I determined that it was a possum. I felt sorry for the fella, no telling how long it had been in there. Probably climbed in looking for a snack, then couldn't get out. I laid the barrel down so it could come out but it was scared and crawled as far up into the barrel as it could get, getting coated with wet ashes in the process. Then I thought "I should go get my camera". But, I got another plastic bottle and reached up in the barrel and nudged him towards the exit. He opened his mouth and looked at me, and didn't even hiss at me. It looked about as much dead as alive. But when I got him out on the ground he perked up right away and waddled off towards the woods at a high rate of waddle- black and covered in wet ashes, but probably happy.
