May 27th


I LIKE POSSUMS!

Possums are good to have around. They eat snails, slugs and small rodents. They clean up road kill. Their body temperature is too low to incubate the rabies virus. And, I think they're cute. Especially the little ones. However, I would prefer not to find them in my kitchen.

Apparently one of the canines decided to play squeaky toy with a baby possum, and brought it into the house. I found it on the kitchen floor, playing possum. Cute little thing, and it was still warm so I put it out in the side yard (where the dogs couldn't get to it) and it was gone in the morning. Kiara was not happy with me for stealing the new toy, but she got over it.

Possums are MUCH better than skunks!
