Peej and the Possum

[cyber-sibes]

We moved into our new country home a year ago and the first thing Star and Rosie did was dig through a huge brush pile and root out a HUGHMUNGUS possom - I've never seen one so big! anyway, Star thrashed it around for a while, and finally dropped it and came away - and boy, did she stink! - phew!!! But when I took her to the dogpark, she was the total envy of every dog there! they all crowded around to smell her, and she stood there looking all alert and proud! I went out the next day to bag the body and guess what - the varmint was gone! Guess he was playing possom afterall!
So be glad all Peej did was bark!

Possums are good shy creatures.
Even though they look like a big rat, I believe they
are not in the rodent family because
they have a pouch like a Kangaroo.
I am not sure what they would do if cornered,
because all the ones our big dogs have come in contact
with will play dead when they feel threatened.

Rocky has a night curfew because he
catches Possums. Little Pepper has found
them too, but she just barks at them.
