We have a friend who lives out in the middle of West Texas. He told us about finding a possum in a pantry or closet. Who knows how it got in the house and I don't know what he was thinking (I would have probably tried to "shooo" it out with a broom or something) - instead, he decided to try to pick it up by it's tail to get it out...

I couldn't believe a country boy (AND HE WAS) -- didn't know any better! The little guy wasn't aggressive till he tried to pick it up. Well, the next thing he mentioned was something about beady little eyes, lots of teeth, lots of scratching, hissing and ended it with a 10mm... I don't know how many times he shot the poor thing.

I felt sorry for the poor little possum.
