Ah, dogs and possums, what happy memories.

A few years back Rachael rescued two baby possums and brought them home to bottle feed them.

These little things were no more that three inches long and half of that was mouth. Kinda like little Pacmen, half their body opens up when they yawn.

Well, we had to introduce them to the dogs, so that the dogs would know that they were pets and not food.
On the first showing of one to Jacob, our Airedale, quick as a flash this little fellow, all three inches of him, ups and bites Jacob on the nose.

Jacob, big fierce dog, bred for catching and eating small animals, never went near them again.
