Hidden treasure
In the middle of the forest were these old gnarly gums. Underneath the old gnarly gums were some small spiky twigs. Underneath the small spiky twigs was a pile of brittle leaves and underneath those there was a dead possum. Trouble was I got stuck in the leaves, under the twigs, under the gums and had to be rescued with the bounty in my mouth. Needless to say I was leashed for the rest of the walk.
Ruby the black labrador 
Ruby does love dead possums. Yuck!
Yuck indeed – especially when they have been fermenting:)
Didn’t the gas and sad face from the other possum day before teach you anything Ruby?
Nope – I have a very short memory for some things but long for others. Or is it similar to selective hearing?
Gross…you will end up with Gnarly gums yourself young lady hahahaah 🙂
Ha ha ha! nice one:)
🙂
Ruby, another possum? 😀
I know. They are just too hard to resist and it’s that time of year when they start to come out and it’s either too hot or too rainy for them and they flop like flies. Lucky me:)
You’re very good Ruby!
Ruby, a dead possum is worth every effort, I think :o)
Yes – should have made a bit more of an effort. It was the backwards double twist move out – I got my collar caught on the twigs and they slowed me down.
Possum? UGH! Although, given the chance, my 3 would love to bring me one as a “gift”.
No! – possums are lovely smelly things, especially when they’ve been marinading in mud for a few weeks…
My dogs are quite jealous. They love a good roll in possum!
Ha – Ruby rolls in everything and anything. They are funny things aren’t they?
I love your written voice 🙂
Thank you – it is quite like my spoken voice although I’m obviously trying to sound like Ruby. I like the discipline of writing short pieces every day.
Does it help you in some way to write on a daily basis? I like the short form 🙂 Very often I have to skip some bloggers’ writings cause I can’t afford enough time, and then again we all have different tastes and affinities – I like short and interesting (and if it is funny like in your case – even better :D)
Yes I think daily practice is good – keeps a focus and you get the voice and a way of trying to use a few words to say something interesting. Plus there is always something going on with Ruby!
Oh dear you poor pup, sorry you had to be leashed for the rest of your walk. You must have felt so restricted.
🙂 Mandy xo
Yes – just terrible. Still managed to grab a few bits of possum poo though. So not too bad!
