    I’ve been in that possum’s shoes. Er, paws.

      She’s lucky that someone was watching her, trapped her, and dragged her butt in for help.

      That said, I think that they’d do it again but maybe yellow cake with chocolate frosting?

    How do sloths fare in winter because I could use help clearing the 40 cm/ 15 inches of snow we got yesterday!

      Somehow I don’t think they’re big on cold weather…

    Just a small town cat, living on a lonely world. Tilly has a great family.

    oh poor ‘possum – I’m sure that’s not what they signed up for! How does an opossum get/have such high lead levels I wonder.
    I’m getting ready to go march around a very Philadelphia. Good thing I already went for a test run this morning – I need different shoes, a hat and a sweater (under the winter coat of course).
    Saving the rest of the links for when I get home and need to thaw.

    that poor goose.

    what is going on in that birdbrain that makes him think that the wheelbarrow’s going to be a bff?

    He needs a feathered friend.

      Maybe they could hook him up with the cow and goat.

      Some clues, though no definitive answers, here:

      https://poultrykeeper.com/incubating-hatching-ducks/imprinting-ducks-geese/

      “Various questionable ‘research’ over the years has shown that chicks and ducklings will imprint on just about anything, from a wellington to a light bulb. This can cause some interesting behavioural traits in the future. It can be quite embarrassing when your friendly garden mallard comes and flattens herself out at your feet, demanding you mate with her, and the Muscovy drake you hand-reared is humping your wellie-boot.”

        Yeah, that’s awkward.

    I love the idea of a panda economy, by the way. Would fly to Hong Kong now and book a special visit with the babies if I could.
