Possum


This picture was taken (by me) four years ago today.  I called it "possum" although there are two possums in the picture (that we can see).  It's a mother & her child.  It was taken in my backyard in Fort Worth, & I was alerted to the strangeness of a nocturnal animal like a possum awake during the day & wandered across a wire by my dog Pauline, who totally lost her shit & got everyone in the house as excited as she was.

It wasn't the first time a possum showed up in our yard, & the other times Pauline & also Yoko attacked the poor marsupial.  & it surely played possum.  I was able to wrangle the dogs back into the house, & checked back later.  The possum the dogs thought they'd dispatched?  Gone.
