Barney & Fred snuggling.

Barney & Fred snuggling.  This is what I see when I walk into my kitchen.  I have to just keep my camera ready.

For the record their living place is clean.  That's a fresh puppy pad, but they eat and leave crumbs everywhere.  The bottom of the cage looks grody, but it's one I loaned out and it came back stained.  I couldn't scrub the brown out with a toothbrush.  (Yes, I tried).  Their hut is chewed up because it used to belong to my guinea pigs, but the opossums don't seem to care.  They sleep in it and climb on it just the same.  🙂

You know - it just doesn't seem to lose it's shock...

You know - it just doesn't seem to lose it's shock to walk in the room and find an opossum sleeping soundly.  They go all out, with their tongues out, eyes open, on their backs... they really look dead.  As much as I hate to disturb that kind of good sleep... I always do - just to make sure they are ok.  😂😂😂

Nelly sleeping again, with her butt hanging out.

Sleeping again. You can see her pouch in this one. 🙂

Nelly hair.  Because who needs blow-drying when you can just use some spit and slick it down?

Well... since he's staying with me...

Well... since he's staying with me, I thought I might as well give him his own album.  I can't stop photographing his adorable little ass anyway.  😃

Chowing on a Cheerio

Taking a break from playing

Mr. Dunk looking all thoughtful

YOU WILL DIE.

Just kidding.

Escaping the Shaun.

Wrestling the Shaun

Still wrestling the Shaun

Wrestling the Shaun, but tiring out. Adorably. 😃

He was resting on my hand just a second before I snapped this. I love his little face, though, so here is a close-up of part of it. 😛

Hanging from the couch by his back feet

Standing up

Buddha Belly!

Laid out on the table

Even squirrels do the frog butt. 😃

BEST. HAT. EVER.

Note to self:

Note to self:  Textured polish is just too interesting to a squirrel.  Great way to get your nails ripped off.

No, Dump didn't rip my nails off, but man, he was pulling and biting, and fussing at ME when I scolded him.  Had to cut playtime short.  Might have to go and re-do my nails.  For safety purposes.  LOL

Some Pics

Up top, Mona in her secret sleepy hidey spot. It's under a shelf. Forgive me for the dust and cobwebs.

Bottom picture: The epic stink eye we get when we remove her from her secret sleepy hidey spot to put her to bed.


Opossum pics


Runt baby Barney about to climb up in my lap. His brother Fred is much less adventurous and social. Fred wouldn't even come out for a grape. He just took it and ran back inside his house. LOL


Barney (that's him in both photos) has a happy face because he's eating a grape that he found in the wilds of the kitchen floor. LOL He's funny. Fred ate the whole thing, but Barney chewed forever and then spit out the skin. 😛

I had no idea that mint green and red was a thing...

I had no idea that mint green and red was a thing until Mo told me, but I guess it is. Google says so, if you don't believe her. In a thousand years I probably never would have thought of this. LOL So thank you, Mo, for helping me with color. That is something I always need help with.

So I know those are not my most creative nails, but my mint green is a textured polish, so that limits what I can do with it. Maybe I'll topcoat them later to see how they do, but you generally aren't supposed to do that because then you can't feel the texture.

Obviously, I did not paint lines that straight on my own. Tape was the magic behind these nails. 😉
