Playing Opossum

The opossum is eating the cat food on the porch this morning. I feel joy, because she has not been here for ages. I had seen an opossum carcass on the road, and I felt badly. Thinking it was “our” opossum. It is not like she is a pet, But she has visited here plenty, eating the cat food. Sometimes next to the cat. Weirdly enough the cat and the dog Seem to be in alliance with this Ugly-tailed vermin. I researched opossums and Discovered they are all about family. Being good moms, and they do not fight Choosing instead to play opossum Which means playing dead. They are good at this. Maybe the one in the road was playing. But I doubt it. Since he no longer had a head. Nobody plays that well.
