Yea! Congrats on becoming a pillar. Your fur kids are cute as can be. The possum, omg he is so cool. Does he visit often? Are they mean? I dont know much about possums. I'm not sure if we have them here in Colorado? Lol.
He just started coming. He has been though 2 nights in a row. They can be mean, yes. And they do carry rabies. This is the only one I have come across so close and that didn't run away quickly. If he showed me any signs of agression I would not have gotten so close. As it was he never hissed at me or even looked mad in anyway. He has some super sharp claws and teeth so I know he put a hurting on me if he wanted too. I believe they are in Colorado but probably not as much as here in FL.

Very Cute Opossum! and of course your girlies are beautiful as usual! Just remember that rabies is spread through saliva.
I believe they can be called Possum's as well. The correct term is Opposum but Possum is just as acceptable. I live in FL and here we call them Possum's. Yes I know all about rabies. I wasn't trying to kiss him.
