petie and rosa

After last night and someone trying to break in I was not going to sleep at my house alone. Chances are no one was going to try again but I was still a little freaked so my good friend Katt spent the night.

We had the craziest memorible night ever!!!

While outside Daytona started freaking out at this box that is in our drive way. She was going crazy like there was something inside. Of course that made me a little nervous. After all that happen the night before, what was in that box? so Katt and I decided we needed to take a peak. I got a broom and slowly wedged the box open. To our suprise peaking around a bucket was this guy (Petie- that's what we named him)



we were trying to get a better picture but we didn't want to get to close and he was kinda hiding.

We tried to call animal control but they were closed and we couldn't find a 24 hour one.

So we proped the box open with the broom and went to my parent's window to watch. We were kind of excited to see what it would do. After a while Petie jumped out. However He did not just get out and run away. As soon as he got out he turned around and we could hear that there was another opossum moving around in the box. (Oh my gosh 2 opossums) (maybe it had babies in there.)

So we watched. Petie jumped back in. So then it got us thinking we need to research opossums. We found out so much interesting stuff about them. Apparently they are marsupials which means that they carry their babies in a pouch.

Next we saw another opossum jump out. This time we noticed that it totally had babies in a pouch. No joke! it was crazy!! so we named her Rosa. Very Long story short Petie and Rosa got out of the box and ran away. We are now going to check and see if they came back?

We had a very exciting night. And now we know way more about opossums that we ever wanted to know. :)
