Possum Rescue, April 5, 2017

I never really thought of myself as a possum guy, but when the universe entrusts you with it's young, you do your best. Even if they have a zillion tiny needles for teeth. Seriously, what do they need with that many teeth?

My dog and I engaged in a contest of wills with this little guys life hinging on the outcome, seeing as how he was dangling in her jaws. Fortunately, I have both an iron will and a very good Shiba Inu.

It turned out the universe only needed a taxi driver that day rather than a surrogate opossum parent. The little critter was delivered to Evelyn's Wildlife Refuge in VaBeach. Thanks EWR! Although I had started to like the idea of a possum side kick, it would have been perfect for my nightsider persona.
