Here's mine that I named Possy. He's been coming around a year. He was little the first time I saw him. The seconde time he came by I was sure it was him. He has funny ways about him. He's now gotten comfortable with me sitting next to him while he chows down. I've heard contrary to popular belief that they're good for the environment by getting rid of unwanted rodents and rotten food like fruit. They're also less likely to get rabies than any other species and they're pretty clean.

I have more pics of him I'd like to download but here he is. The porch is much cleaner now than it was. :oops:

Isn't he cute and I used to think oppossums were creepy looking but he's changed my mind. :P

Oh wait, that i consider a pet.

Well, I WOULD consider them as pets, if it was legal to own them. They're everywhere!

LOL, I saw had a similar situation with my fast food. There's also a video of one eating out of the dog's dish while the dog's just sitting there watching it.

As for considering them as pets by owning them. Nah I don't own mine I think it owns me. I think he likes the leftovers and some company. I would never consider owning a wild animal espeacial in the house. My great grandmother had a squirrel that chewed everything up.

they sometimes visit my back yard.

I had a groundhog in my yard last night. Was driving the cats nuts!

At my in-laws today, there were four turkey out in a nearby field and I saw an osprey.
