Turtle vs. Toilet, a Monster in the Closet, and a Surprise Possum
So I came in the house. I still had my work stuff. And I was going over what I had done for the day. I sat on the couch immediately, still in work clothes. And I was in complete quiet. I didn't even turn the lights on yet, really. I just sat down and was on my computer. The Christmas tree light was on, though. The Christmas tree was lit up.

And I was just sitting there working, looking at my computer. And I heard a little sneeze. And, you know, I do have a lot of animals.

I have two ball python snakes. I have a bearded dragon. And I have three dogs and a porch cat. So I thought maybe the cat was under the tree laying down or something. So I kind of looked over there. Kind of looked, but didn't look too much. And then just kept working. And after a few minutes, I heard it again, but it was a lot louder.

So I kind of stood up and started looking around the tree and like it's in between my two couches and by the window. So I kind of looked in the window seal and I was like, there has to be something over here. And as I was looking, I looked to my left where the tree was and it's pretty close up against the wall, but I saw a very long tail that looked like a rat tail.

And I saw it and kind of just paused and was like, you know, what is that?

So I kind of backed up and went around to the front of the tree and looked through, and that's when I saw its face and realized what was in my tree.

It's just, because my tree was black and white, he was blending in, but he had a pretty white face with the black rings around his eyes.

And he just was like looking at me.

And she kind of just told me I should be able to grab him. It shouldn't bite me. What? And try to get him out.
Criminal
Turtle vs. Toilet, a Monster in the Closet, and a Surprise Possum
They do. And they have big teeth. Yeah.
Criminal

Oh no, we wrestled. I had to get him out. You know, I worked my way in there and trying to like just grab around his body and try to like pull him a little bit to see if he'd come out. But they have hands, like they have thumbs and everything. So he was holding on to one of the branches pretty good. And so when I was trying to pull him, he was holding on and ornaments were going everywhere. So...

Eventually, I ended up pulling hard enough to get his hands off. Like I had to like pluck his fingers from the.

And he it wasn't a very hard fall or anything, but he did like wrestle around. And it's like where I didn't have him and he he flopped to the ground and then he ran under my couch. And then it became this whole escapade of me having to get him out. So I would move the couch and then he'd run behind the tree under the other couch.

And I moved the couches like four or five times, like trying to get him. And then he ran, I mean, I was out of breath. And he ran back under the bigger couch. And I took like five minutes to like catch my breath. And as I'm doing this, my dogs are just watching me. They have like, they don't, they want nothing to do with it.

Like, I guess they secrete this smell for defense. And so that's the first thing I noticed. And I kind of just talked to him. I was like, you smell bad, buddy. You have to go back outside and like try to calm him down a little bit.
Criminal
Turtle vs. Toilet, a Monster in the Closet, and a Surprise Possum
I did. He was like, I could tell he was scared. He wasn't hissing or like trying to bite me, but his mouth was kind of open. So like I just like sat there for a second and like I walked to the door and I sat him down and like he scurried off.
Criminal
Turtle vs. Toilet, a Monster in the Closet, and a Surprise Possum
Yeah, I had a hoodie on and it was definitely, it smelled like it. I think I threw it away.

And I think, I think how he got in was I have, my cat lives on my porch primarily and I have some cat food next to the front door. And I think that one night when I opened the door, he was probably eating the food and just, and thought it would be nice to go inside because it was cold out.
