Wow this is great! This is one of the funniest forums I've ever read. I totally second the notion of a book.
I've never had an experience quite like possums or whatever that dead thing is on the first page both of which would have given me a heart attack. But I do have a story that that involves my animals and my Buick. Keep in mind it was entirely my fault on all counts.
I once had to pick up mice for my husband to feed the pet snake and not thinking it through I set the bag- with the box in it- on the floor of the passenger side in my car. Then I ran a quick errand and while I was in the store they were busy chewing. I didn't think about it so when I got home and grabbed the bag I saw one mouse inside it and realized very quickly that the other was missing. Instantly I panicked-it could only be one place. So freaked out over this little white feeder mouse, I came to the very logical conclusion of sending my dog in after it. I put my very cute and sweet dog in the car and I saw a whole new side of her. She barreled from one seat to the next, under the seats, all over the place barking and growling like a demon had taken her over. She finally caught the little bugger and when I opened the door she was incredibly proud of her trophy. Now I was even more grossed out that it was dead-I was not touching it- so I ushered her to the yard with it still in her mouth and to this day I don't know what she did with it. I have never again been asked to pick up mice-Thank God!

My car endured no damage other than a few hard mouse fecies.
