ana , i'd love to hear that story sometime ...
i love possums !
found a small young one curled up in one of the nesting boxes in my chicken
coop once trying to have a warm nap.
when i moved ,i had a really big one who used to use my stonewall as a
roadway , and sometimes i left something for him in the winter. they're
really not equipped to handle new england cold and snow so well.
racoons now - they have busier hands than melodee - and i have some funny
memories of a couple youngsters in maine searching through steamer clam
shells on my cabin porch ,little devils
