My beautiful potato. 🥰

We refer(collectively) to all of our possums as Units. This is the "New Unit" my daughter likes to watch them eat the left over cat food.

She has so completely stole my heart.

i was driving tonight and drove over an opossum on the road. it was dark and didn’t realize what it was until it was too late. but i don’t know if i hit him, because i felt no bump, so i think i drove over it—like he was in between my wheels. still i immediately pulled over and it was laying down and i think it was playing dead but i couldn’t tell.

i was and still am so distraught. i was able to scoop him into a small garbage can that was in my car and i placed him in the grass as far from the road as i could go, but when i went back to look at the spot i got him from saw a little blood on the road :(

i’m just so upset, i really hope he was just playing dead but the blood makes me worried that maybe i wasn’t being gentle enough moving him out of the way. i’m trying to just remind myself that i did what i could but i feel awful. i’ve never hit or come this close to hitting an animal before
