Liz I am so glad that Bud is doing so well, when our babies do well we do too. Give him a hug from us.
It's funny talking about an opossum, we live in the city and off our den we have a porch. One night the dogs were barking like crazy, not their usual bark we have a sliding glass door to the porch. I said to Don I'm going to see what they are barking at, I thought is was a cat. I shined the flashlight on the porch and I almost fainted, I saw this big furry looking animal with teeth so big that's all I saw was the teeth. I didn't know what it was and was scared to death. I called animal control and they said oh don't worry it's just a opossum they are all over and it will be gone by morning. Don got up and shut the blinds and that was that. I worried about it being there all night, by morning I looked out and sure enough it was gone.
