Possums Are Creepy!

[raysnkaysmom]

I think that they are cute! Their faces are so precious!

OMG...are you confusing possums with a raccoon or somethin??? LOL

I almost ran over one the other night. It just waddled out into the street and didn't care that I was driving there. A cat will usually dart out or stay back, but not this stupid creature. It just took its time crossing. I didn't want to hit it because I couldn't think of anything grosser than having dead animal guts on my tires. So I stopped. After it passed, I got the heebee jeebees and wanted to hurl. They are so yucky.

It's cuz they can't see and are startled easily...

I know they say that they are more scared of us than we are of them... but they give me the heebee jeebees too!!! When I happen to run into one outside my house.... they just stare at me... YUK!!!!

Nasty little buggers! Yikes!

I'm terrified and not afraid to admit it. Whenever I have to put the garbage out at night I bring Maggie (our black lab) with me. She is more scared than I am but it gives me stregnth to run, drop the trash and high tail it back into the house.

I've had my fair share of encounters with those buggers.

Forgot to mention that they view my minivan as a Motel 6.

I think JimFitz should weigh in here.

I remember that!

What? I have had them (and raccoons) in my yard many times. I never made that connection.

Avril voiced the possum Heather in Over the Hedge.

Has anyone noticed any really FAT, I MEAN OBESE squirrels there are this year? We have had a couple in the yard, that I really wondered how they could get up a tree!

I haven't seen any mean ones, but we do have a lot of squirrels this year and they don't seem to be as afraid of people as they usually are.

Well, at least that makes sense! I have never seen Over the Hedge.

And, yes, our squirrels are rotund, too. My husband swears it means we are going to have one very cold, long winter.
