I was rushing out the door to pick up perscriptions at lunch time. Swing the door open run over to the gate...yes...the very gate that is mere feet away from this nasty thing. See it, run back in screeching for Becca to come see.
She runs over and joins me in disgust. Then all the sudden the stomach starts pulsating and we are convinced that the thing is going to give birth right there in front of us. Out pops two babies and it occurs to us that they were just in her pouch. ICK.
Gabe runs out. We are yelling at him to come back as I am sure he will go after this thing and it will tear him to shreads.
Me: Gabe!! Come!! Treat! Gabbers....GABE COME NOW! Come boy, come, please...etc.
Becca: Do you think if I hit you he'll come to your rescue and we can get him back inside.
Me: NO
Finally Gabe comes in and I decide to make a run for it to get to the car through the yard. The thing slinks away as I back out of the driveway.
Seems she's taken up residence under our deck. Lovely.
And if you dare to tell me she's cute we will no longer be friends.

That is absolutely disgusting - I'm sorry you had to witness such a sight!
So I guess we are still friends.

well, what if I said that the adult is ugly and disgusting, but the baby is kind of cute?
I would have totally freaked out too!

The tiny little babies look cute, but the mama looks mean and evil.
I think it would have played dead if Gabe had rushed it.. since it is a possum! Jetta and I saw one walking in broad daylight crossing the street-at first I thought it was a cat before we got closer. Then realized it was just STARING at us-not moving.. freaky! Luckily a week or so later I saw a dead one on that street so hopefully it was that one. They've scurried on our chain link fence-creepy!
And we will call her Parker Possum...newest resident of Hyland Street.
