me and the dog saw a possum in the yard last night. it ran away when dog pulled the leash toward it, and tried to go through my neighbor's fence. however, she has chicken wire on the inside of the fence, so it couldn't get through. so it was half-way through the fence, and it just sorta froze there with its butt on our side and head on the other side.
then i took the dog away to the other side of the yard and i saw the possum scurrying away into the night. godspeed soldier
