Surprise Visitor

Wow, what is all that commotion? Tara screaming and Liam yelling and running to try to get into the house. What on earth is going on? Then I see this baby possum trying to grab onto Liam's leg. Liam had long pants on and this little possum was determined  to climb Liam's legs.

We managed to convince Liam to stand still. The little possum climbed up his leg and tried to wrap his arms around Liam bottom. Liam freaked and the possum jumped over to Ardal and nibbled on a carrot until Tara the big brave girl, grabbed a towel and covered the possum. She picked him up and carried him out to a tree.

Now, I can come out of my room. I was hiding behind the door watching from a safe distance. I grabbed my camera and took some photos of our cute visitor.

What do you think? Is he cute?


Here he is hanging by his tail enjoying the carrot we used to coax him, so Tara could carry him outside.

  1. When I read your heading I thought you might have had a snake...given where you live...I never thought it would be a possum. Big Brave Annette.....what would you do without Tara. Was the little visitor actually inside the house????
