This morning while Sharon was drinking her morning coffee looking out at the back yard, she saw a large possum wondering around her deck. ( picture) She immediately started screaming for Kent to hurry and come see it. We pounded on the windows and made lots of noise, as the dumb thing just kept wandering around. Kent got braver and decided to go out with the broom and chase it off. (picture) It wouldn't leave and it kept coming towards Kent who was as afraid of it as Sharon was. We decided to call animal control and have them come and get it, they informed us they don't do that sort of thing and they told us to just leave it alone and it will go away the same way it came. We didn't like that answer at all especially when all of a sudden there were 4 of them. We chose to leave our home for the morning, when we came home the family of possums had moved to another yard where the screaming woman and the crazy man with the broom didn't live.
