Wow,......... we only get possums for core aeration and I have yet to

My poor guy who lived in our yard for almost seven years, way beyond
life expectancy has died. He came up near the house to die. Every
night at about ten the neighbors dog would "woof" and I knew the
opossum was out there, and he was. That's when they emerge, about
ten.

I remember you talking about your opossum....... Until I got a dog, I
always had at least one come in the cat door at night for years (two
different houses). The cats ignored him/her, "I don't see that giant
mouse...". They have very soft fur, btw, and don't seem to mind being petted
after awhile......
