This weekend we visited some of my family and on our way down my dad's driveway we encountered this little guy. Hank jumped out and held him with a stick while I took pictures. Notice the possum's tail has been chewed off - or something - an his ears were frozen off - or something. No animals were harmed during this photo shoot.

However - there was a possum harmed on our back porch by Sam and I shortly after moving in. He was in the trashcan on the back porch and after filling it completely full of bb holes we thought he was dead. I had my hand on the lid holding it until he stopped moving. Then all of the sudden THUD - he hit the lid really hard. I opened it and that thing was flopping and jumping 5 feet in the air! We finally finished him off. I think it would have been easier to just chase it away.
