Foiled!

Today I got to go on one of our runs to more rural shelters to help relieve overcrowding there. We ended up bringing back 21 kittens and 10 dogs. So fun day. But this morning, while I was getting stuff together in preparation for the 90 minute drive…. This happened.

Excuse you Tiniest Opossum, but you are NOT allowed to escape through the front bars of the cat carrier we were housing you in. I’m going to put you back.

“NO!”

I am going to catch you and put you back and you have no say in this matter.

“NO!”

Catching you and putting you back now.

“NOOOOOO!”

Aaaand back you go. Let go of the purple towel and go in the cardboard box.

“Noooooooooooo!”

Happy 9th Tiniest Opposumversary.

Hopefully, somewhere, this little one’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren are out in the world and screaming defiance at every inconvenience.

13 generations in nine years?? How fast do these beasts breed??

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#gestation period of 12-14 days + 70-125 days weaning#so like 140 days tops for the whole thing#and only a 1-2 year wild lifespan#honestly 13 gens might be low balling a little#speedy little fellas

THAT IS SO LITTLE TIME

The Opposum Society of the United States (of course we have one of those) says they leave Mom at 4.5 months and “within a few months” will have their own first litter.

I find it so beautiful that this little rat's life has been remembered with love for 20 years and will be hopefully for decades to come. Truly a marvel of the internet.

I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain
