“I got a fright of my life. I woke the whole family up,” she said.
“This little Tasmanian devil was hiding underneath my couch.”
Toy Story“At one stage we had the whole family standing on the dining room table while my husband was trying to chase the poor thing out with a broom,” Lynch continued.
I am truly obsessed with this mental image because it reminds me of that deeply iconic video of the Irish dad trying to catch a bat which had somehow gotten into the kitchen. If the kids weren’t shouting, “CATCH IT, DERRY,” ad nauseam I will be disappointed. I know the tale — or tail, if you will — of the Tasmanian devil going rogue is set in Hobart and not somewhere in Ireland, so there is quite a low chance the Dad’s name is “Derry” and such a demand would be rendered useless. But it would be for the bit, for the bit I tell you. Thankfully the wee devil yeeted outside unharmed. As for how the crafty critter moseyed into the house in the first place, Lynch said she lives next to bushland in Sandy Bay and sometimes leaves the door open so her pup can jet outside if it needs a slash. Alas, her hypothesis is that the Tasmanian devil wandered in via the open door, much like Marie and Frank Barone in Everybody Loves Raymond. If you are in Tasmania and spot a lost, sick, injured or orphaned ‘lil devil — or any other wildlife — don’t do a Chris “Noted Beekeeper” Pratt and try to take matters into your own hands. Instead, call a wildlife sanctuary or rescue service, so they can take care of the bubs.The post Bless This Hobart Woman Who Mistook A Living, Breathing Tasmanian Devil For Her Dog’s Stuffed Toy appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .
