Rest In Peace Mister Possum

My Dad came over and asked me to come and see a strange site before he removed it. This isn`t the most pleasant picture to be showing but don`t you think Daisy`s grave is an unnusual place for this poor guy to lay down to die? Perhaps the stone statue drew him to seek some last comfort. How sad.
Possums are not from this area originally and some hop onto trucks to make their way here in Ontario.

Poor little thing.
I wonder about them, how do they survive the cold, etc...
Maybe this one passed of old age?
He doesn't look injured.

Awe, bless Mister Possum's little soul. I looked at this photo a long time wondering what his little life was like. Since he chose Daisy's grave I suspect they are now playing in a happly place together now.

Awwwwwww.
We have possums coming into our back yard now that they are tearing down all the woods around here.
Blessings!

Wow, I hate to see that kind of thing, I always wish they were somewhere warm and dry and safe; though I guess to a critter who lives in the wilderness, that is home, and no place else would be.

Poor thing! At least it looks like the little possum died peacefully.

Have a good weekend :)
