Oh, I looked them up this morning, @chanelvaps. Disgusting.

I looked it up too and then sort of wished I hadn't. I am just glad they are gone from my sweet little babies (that need to move on)
You’re braver than I am!!
I don’t want nightmares
I saw a doco on them years ago, my brain is still scared
They are both looking gorgeous @chanelvaps I hope the BF gets the chop, or they find a even better forever home
I agree with everyone else, that girl needs to re-home her BF. Even from a picture I can see how bonded they are.
I had a friend who had two cats she adored. Met a man, he was a prince, got married, and then he claimed to be allergic. Made her get rid of them. I warned her... a year goes by and he brought home a cat. I asked how, suddenly, he’s not allergic? I think he just didn’t like her cats, they didn’t like him, for sure, and he was jealous because she had them during a previous relationship. Anyway they got divorced soon after.
My girl Cheddar today. I have four fosters and I secretly hope she is the last to leave because I love her so. She got listed on the adoption site today and has a clean bill of health (but will still only eat her food if there is baby food mixed in and yes I indulge her nightly)
She's looking so gorgeous now
she is adorable!@NolaMel Gemma (floppy ear lambs' Mum) came up to see me this morning:

In case you ever wondered if opossum really play dead when threatened, I can confirm, they do.
I took Georgia out last night about 10pm for her last wee of the day. It was dark of course, but she was also around the side of the house, so I couldn’t see her.
I heard a noise, like something hit the fence. And I just knew it wasn’t her, but I called her. Heard her tags jingle.
Turned on my phone’s flashlight and saw her under the Apple tree, what looked like a ball of fur in front of her.
It as an adult opossum, not huge, bigger than a rabbit. Sure looked big next to my dog.
Now that I know it’s okay, this is pretty funny. It was laying on its back, feet in the air, mouth open, tongue hanging out to the side. Like how someone would draw a cartoon.
I stood there for 5 minutes or so, and that thing looked as dead as any dead thing I’ve ever seen. Didn’t see any wounds though, except one tiny scratch on its tail.
When I finally fell asleep - I was so upset, today is trash day so if it was dead, I’d have had to get out there by 6am and bag it up- I had nightmares about it all night.
Georgia is not a mean dog, she’s actually the sweetest one ever. But she’s terribly territorial. Off the property, she hardly even pays any attention to other animals.
