Dandelion's Great-Great?

 Opossums in the wild only live a couple of years. The 'possum I named Dandelion showed up at my house in 2008. That would make this one a lot of greats down the line if it's related.

It decided the leap to the steps from where it is above was too big, and ran up along the retaining wall and then around the front of the house.

I think 'possums are very cool, except they can really stink.

I'm just about packed. Need to do travel food and one more store trip. Will leave about noon tomorrow. I think my stamina is up to this event. I'll know in a few days, right?

The only time I've ever seen one is when it's running across the road in front of me when I'm driving.

Lulu: "Dada has seen possums around here a few times! Apparently one ran by right in front of him and Tucker one time when they were out in the front yard! And that's how we ended up with our frenemy 'Jill' on the blog ..."

Ann and Stew- they do exist in a form other than dead in the road!

Lulu- you mean the cat with the pointy nose? :)
