Who would'a thunk it? One of my bear-chasing pit bulls has a "soft mouth" - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Peaches was spotted by my wife getting ready to bury a "tid bit" she found in the woods. (She likes to "ripen" carrion and save it to roll in later. Phewwww!)Anyway, it turns out she was getting ready to bury a baby Opossum. And the 'possum had apparently been only been playing dead. We rescued it and kept it in a box for observation for a day then released it in one of our wet coves outside the dog boundary.It was cute as the dickens:

Wow that thing soo is NOT cute...LOL Glad that the baby possum is okay though.

**Controller** · 07-29-2012, 08:44 PM

Awww...it is kinda cute!!

Guess it's maybe a good thing then that Peaches didn't actually catch the bear!!

**Signabeademia** · 07-29-2012, 10:24 PM

I'm so glad you were able to rescue it.
However, I'm sorry, that Opossum is nasty.

And on a side note it's interesting that you know it's Opossum, not Possum. Many people do not know that.

**Arratherimi** · 07-30-2012, 04:47 AM

it's totally cute

Ow come on. Did you enlarge the image?

**DoctorWeryDolt** · 07-30-2012, 05:32 AM

That's so sweet! I just love possums. I think they're adorable. =)

I had the same thing happen once with a decidedly less cute critter. One of my sister's hamsters got out of its cage and Mila snagged it up. I almost didn't know she had it in her mouth except that she was acting funny and her cheek was a little puffy. I had to pry her mouth open to get the poor thing out and it was sopping wet. And I hate hamsters. I'm near terrified of them. (I've always owned rats, which I've found are considerably more affectionate and far less prone to sinking their teeth into my fingers. Haha.)
