Annie Get Your Gun

From Whitney (I don't even know why I put this anymore since Erica has maybe written one of these! From now on, just assume it's me... haha)

I got a phone call last week from a woman who was calling for her mother. Her mother had called her, hysterical. The mother explained to her daughter that she had been at her house when all of the sudden an opossum shows up...inside the house. The mother contacts her daughter and explains that she is terrified and that she is going to vacate her house. She was now leaving the problem up to her daughter while she spent her day at her friend's house. This is obviously what prompted the daughter to call us. She explained to me that her mother was pretty scared and wouldn't go anywhere near her home while an opossum was inhabiting it. It is currently our busiest time of the year (those bats, squirrels and raccoons are havin' their babies!) and luckily I was able to get a hold of the owner of our company to go out to remove the opossum. We scheduled the appointment and arranged to meet the owner of the home (or mother) out at the house to essentially save the day...cause that's what we do...

The owner of our company meets the woman at her home (out front of course) and prepares to enter the house to fight off this scary, crazy, intimidating opossum who has now most likely taken over the entire house. He slowly enters the house and to his left he turns and is face to face WITH... the smallest opossum he has ever seen. It was even smaller than a chipmunk at this point. This woman vacated her own home and dialed her daughter for assistance with a tiny, baby opossum. The owner also turns to walk out of the house when he sees an "old school" revolver sitting on top of the television. After noticing his interest, the woman explains that she was trying to shoot at the animal as it ran around her living room floor. The revolver was so old that it wouldn't release the bullet out of the camber. He unloaded the gun (free of charge) and went on his merry way with the baby opossum in his grasp.
