That was kind of cool...
We were just outside with Daisy, and we noticed she was investigating...something. Since it was at the other end of the yard, we couldn't tell what it was, only that she was in her "hesitant sniffing" mode...sniff, back up, go forward, sniff, back up, etc.
So we go out to her and see that it's an apparently dead baby opossum. Wasn't moving at all.
supervenusfreak and I shoo Daisy into the house, grab the shovel and prepare to dig a hole to bury it. As we're doing this, I notice that the opossum is starting to twitch its ears, so I move over closer. And see its eyes are now open, and its tail is starting to move. It was playing possum! I've never actually seen one do that! SO COOL!
