dogs like possums (for a snack)

Tonight we went and saw War of the Worlds (tom cruise, 2005) at the theater, and it was a pretty good movie. There was a couple of parts that didn't fit the action speed of the rest of the movie (read boring) but as a whole, the move was good. When we got home, there was a dead, bloody possum in the driveway. I went to get a shovel and a plastic bag, while the teenagers oogled the body. It was then that they discovered the possum was a mama, and there were live babies in her pouch. Latex gloves, a couple towels, and we had a box of baby possums (8 live ones). I then bagged up the mama and her dead baby, and am about to go dig a hole to bury them.
