Possum

While leaving the house tonight, we saw a mammal by the house. It was not one of the neighborhood cats, nor was it the local skunk. It was the size of a terrier, low slung, with a white face, cylindrical body, and hairless rat-tail. Yes, it was a possum. I drove it away with snowballs, but I think probably lives under my porch.

We’re going to need bigger mousetraps.
