We had one on our front porch when I was young... my mom picked it up one night... she was outside to get the cat and hadn't bothered to turn on the porch light... I'm not sure who was more startled, but no one was bitten and the thing actually became sort of an outdoor pet. Aww, don’t be so hard on the possums!

I love having wildlife in the backyard, sadly being on the edge of suburbia i don't get as much as i would in the country (no sightings of kangaroo's here lately ) We do however have a bat that hangs out every night on the palm tree that borders our garden .. the kids named him bruce. I like Ali's suggestion, shetlands are small ... you could say they are a new breed of dog your neighbours might be slightly confused and you would probably be called that odd lady from down the road but that's ok :) Hi Sheri, i get the feeling we have different possums from you guys lol ours eat our birdseed and love things like apple and rose hips, but they aren’t vicious they do hiss but that’s more because you startle them than anything else.

Not all that destructive and eat stuff you don't want in your garden. I'm sort of in to urban wildlife. Sorry…I am very fond of possums. Think they’re cute!

That first winter, in addition to lots of birds I had never seen before, I got my first introduction to opposums. They only came at night. We would watch them out the kitchen window. A few years later, my family got a pony. That next winter, my Mom was doing dishes and watching the birds at the feeder. Suddenly, she called us all to see the World's Biggest Opposum at the feeder. Our pony had managed to get out of her pasture and was enjoying the seeds on the ground! When I was a kid, we moved from Florida to Massachusetts.

Would that get rid of the possums? Although I do wonder how you would make a sheep look fierce. Mostly I want to kiss their little noses. :-) I wonder if you could have a scare-sheepy?

I just have to say though I absolutely love my sock kits!!! I love being part of this fun club and am excited when the "box and surprises" are coming. Thank you for letting me join in and share this fun!!! Happy Spring! Everything here in Kentucky is really green also. I enjoy it so much when nature begins her awakening process.

You are right. Wildlife is increasing everywhere. About three weeks ago, we had a racoon get into our basement! Not pretty, let me tell ya. We live in south St. Louis city. You can read the tale on my blog! Kim Hey Sheri!!
