But I wouldn't cross one.<BR/>BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-9276598883766766792009-01-09T12:39:00.000-08:002009-01-09T12:39:00.000-08:00Oh that would be me!!

We call animal control and they come and get them and relocate them. We have caught raccoons too! I feel like the Clampett's! :)Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-22769581693993207222009-01-09T12:23:00.000-08:002009-01-09T12:23:00.000-08:00OH Deb, a possum in the yard?

They eat almost anything, and if people leave food outside for pets they'll eat that.<BR/><BR/>They're grumpy and pea-brained, and like all mammals have the potential to carry rabies, so should be given space.<BR/><BR/>Healthy wild ones will do all they can to avoid you, and as far as I know will only bite if you grab them.<BR/><BR/>But they don't particularly mind having their picture taken.Hugh Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009591922841705072noreply@blogger.com
