Remembering when

Description

Remembering when we had an Opossum family. We still have one of these three but Jack has gotten very big. We still feed him each night and he still leaves evidence of his presence each night. I have been unsuccessful in getting a recent capture as he is a nocturnal creature. He still does not bother the cat and every now and then we spot him in the garage. In MT

This is so adorable Emile. First of all I love the beautiful little bed with its colors and design and then the gorgeous sight of them huddled together in their makeshift home. Wonderful picture and a wonderful way you help the little fella's out Emile. #11396652

I like the other-worldly colors for this Opossum family portrait, Emile. Glad to hear that, despite Jack's size, he leaves the cat alone. #11396666

I was wondering if they are still with you. They have always been such a heart warming story from the other part of the world. Not many people, if any, can have such an experiance. #11397423

I still clean possum poop from the garage each day and we still feed him each day. #11397441

Now that we have Maybelline in the backyard the possums keep away. I think losing so many trees in the April storm had a lot to do with it also. This is a good story & a wonderful picture to go with it=^..^= ps: you sure you're not a vet!!! #11401696
