A VISIT WITH BLOSSOM (THE POSSUM)

Little Blossom is growing! I had a chance to visit her the other day (and my friend, Bobbie, of course) and snapped a few pictures as she poked her head out for a little snack of cherries and grapes. I know some of you don't think possums are cute, I didn't either until I got to know one real well. I mean, ya love dogs, right? Are all dogs cute? I don't think so... But once you learn about possums, they really aren't so bad. In fact, I have always found them to be downright lovable! Anyway, I had a nice visit with Blossom. And Bobbie, too!

"Whaddya mean, wake up? Its the middle of the day! If you wake me up, you gotta feed me. Possum Rule Book, page 4. Where's the food?

Food? Food? I don't smell any banamies... Whatcha got? If I come out there, there'd better be food...
Whatcha got? Whatcha got???? Jerries??? Mmmmmmmmm, I wov jerries, (munch, munch, smacking of lips....)More? More? Got more? Add Image Oh, a new hand... Hmmm, guess it smells OK... Got food?

Hmmmmm. I'm always worried about sharp little teeth on those critters...although I have to admit that she has a cute, pink nose.
