The little fellow is growing by leaps and bounds. He is now as tall as The Sisters, Bailey and Harrigan.

Colonel Deeds came onto the deck with the other crew-members, but he had a gift for me. He was carrying a small baby possum. I could not tell if it was feigning death or if it was actually dead. He dropped it on the deck, and I grabbed a small spade to carefully remove it from the deck and into the easement, safe from any of the dogs.

This is not me holding the possum, but this was about the size of the little critter.
