Peace Keeping Opossum

peace-keeping opossum with such an ugly pink tail
rids your yard of mice and snakes
a terrific mommy, she keeps her brood close
often is not dead so do not get too close too fast

Definitely. We used to have one that regularly raided the dog's dish we had sitting out on the porch.
