Adventures with Swamp Girl! Virginia Opossum!

Opossums come on my Property to eat Avocados that fall in my Yard from My Neighbors Tree and Cat Food I put out for My Cats.

I also had trouble getting a pair of Opossums out of My Motor Home as I have a lot of stuff stored inside and it was easy for them to get away from me. (Note Opossums poo every where.)

Anyway once in awhile I look up info on them and came a cross this vid.

What I need to know, is: why is it you are not out there on a ladder picking the avocados before they fall?

Well now that you have stepped in it [ ] you make my point. If you wait for them to fall they are over ripe. So what was your point

I don't like Avocados but My Wife would occasionaly takes some.

And, yes what hangs over your side of the Fence is yours and you can also trim off what hangs over on your side of the Fence.

For more then 3 Months part of the Month there was high winds. So they have fallen off early.

I try to keep the tree trimmed as the Avocados fall and sometimes dent my Metal Shed.

Racoons also come over some times and eat.

That would work if the 2 Cats I have has been raised with the Dog.

Right now I just keep my Motor Home Door closed so nothing gets inside. the Possums got inside the Motor Home when I left the Door Open so My Cats could go inside and stay dry and warm.

My Cats live out side most of the time. One will occasionally come in the House and sleep overnight.

Possum verses small dog. I don't think this guy likes his Dog very much.

Possums have opposable thumbs, another reason why I will probably never eat one.

Possum Nuggets?

That Possum in the Swamp Girl Vid was big it could make a decent meal.

The one in the Pic is the best shot I could get chasing it through the Junk inside of My Motor Home. I looked to be only about 9 pounds or so and it is a Male. It was aproximaly the size of the one in the Possum verses Dog vid.
The Swap Girl Possum is a lot larger.
