Playing 'Possum

I had the most glorious adventure the other night!!! My pal Re and I were sitting on the porch after getting some treats from Lauren, when all of a sudden we heard a rustling in the leaves! I ran off to investigate, and Re followed me (as usual). When we caught up with the intruder, it turned out to be an opossum!!! I chased it down, and it just fell over and curled up in a ball! Lauren came out to see what we were chasing, and she told us he was not really dead... just pretending. Re was kind of freaked out by the whole thing! Later, we went back, and the opossum was still there but no longer playing dead.
