Well, it wasn't long before I got the signal from Widget that the trap was again occupied. I figured I would find an opossum in there this time, and I did. I didn't get Puddle though. Apparently, seeing me and the dog earlier was enough to deter him. I'm not sure who this raccoon is, but the 1st thing I noticed about the opossum was...

Unlike the kittens who freaked out when they got trapped and then forgot all about the food, the opossum was much more resourceful than that. He ate every crumb of that tuna. It cost him his freedom after all, and it was still good eating, so why leave it sitting there. LOL.

I did take a few pics, but I forgot about the cage. I don't like to see animals in cages, and I doubt you do either. Here is one of the better pics of the opossum. I spoke to him while taking pics and he stayed amazingly calm. Then I opened the door and set him free.

Even though I didn't replace the missing food, I think I heard the trap AGAIN. Going out to check...
