ohhhhhh I have a sad possum story...........a few years a go, I was babysitting a 5 year old and a 3 year old.........I took them outside to play.....inside an old shed we found a baby possum, so I thought it would be a good idea to encourage it to climb up the big tree in our front yard, so it wouldn't get harassed by my mum's border collie.......anyhoo, I placed the possum on the trunk and expected it to go up to get away from the dog......instead it turned around and went straight into Bo's mouth :(.......he shook it and shook it.....mannnn it made the worst squealing sound and actually got away, as they drop their fur, so the dog was left with a mouth full of fur....but it died within a minute..................
