One night about 2:00 AM in this same house around 12-15 years ago I came
face to face with a possum in the kitchen! I looked at it, and it looked
at me. We froze. I instinctively walked away, allowing the animal to
react as I knew it would and retreat from the house, which it did. I
took measures to seal off the entrance.

I've only seen possums a few times here. I did see several racoons early
one morning at dawn almost a year ago in the middle of the street two
blocks from my house.

Squirrels are extremely common here. One day this summer when I was in
front of my house I saw maybe 1/2 a dozen or more in just a few minutes.
They were having a convention.

:What about groundhogs? They are more local. Big teeth?

I'm unaware of groundhogs in the area. Never heard of it.
