Gretchen Dust signed up to get frequent deliveries of premade meals to her house in an effort to simplify mealtime. And sure enough, it has made it much simpler to enjoy supper.
nevertheless, not only for her and her family.
One such package of food was brought on Dust’s doorstep the other evening. While clearing away some room in her fridge, she took the decision to put the box outside. Dust had no idea that another person would get to the meal before him.
Smelling food apparently free for the taking, a wild possum passing by decided to stop and dig right in.
“Low and behold, the chubby buddy had broken into the box and was helping himself to our order,” Dust told The Dodo. “It was a complete and total surprise.”
It was a first for Dust to have an order raided by an animal “porch pirate.” Regarding the possum, He did, however, appear to be familiar with a box full of unguarded treats.
Obviously well-fed or very opportunistic, he appeared to be! said Dust. He did consume as much food as possible.
Having been busted by the food’s rightful owner, the plump possum eventually decided to make a break for it.
“Luckily, I cracked the door open to snag a few shots before he took off,” Dust said.
While Dust and her family were still hungry, the possum had eaten his fill. But because they adore animals, they don’t feel badly about being so cutesy stolen.
Of course, nothing could be saved, Dust remarked. But that was fun, just for the giggles!
