Australia about 11years ago said: Oh yes, I like him too. Oz. possums are soo much different, but if given the chance they will eat from your hand in suburbia. When I first came to Oz. I was so beguiled, I climbed up to the gutter and had a possum take a piece of apple from my mouth.

Nebraska about 11years ago said: Thanks, Betty! Yes, both escaped without injury. Airedales were bred to "rid the English manor of vermin" so Sadie figured it was her job to go for the opossum. Fortunately, the fence was too high for Sadie to scale :-)
