We have a family of possums that reside in the trees around the front and rear yards here.
One is a baby that sometimes rides on it's mother's back.
The problem is after giving them treats they now come on the ground and walk right up to you expecting a treat.
I was sitting in the front porch the other night when I went to swat a mosquito on my leg and didn't realise one of the critters was right at my feet and scared it half to death and it scurried away all of a sudden.
My father keeps giving them our food and before you know it there's no cereal or bread for us to eat, which is why I now don't tell him if I see the possums.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
