I had seen what looked like a mouse in the bushes on the backyard neighbor's property. My dog had been trying to get into these bushes for a week. Coming out of these same bushes, someone else in my family had also seen what he said looked like a mouse. On second thought though, we figured out this was why that opossum was sticking around and was hardly playing possum.
She was defending her ground even if it was against a dog about the same size as a opossum.
What do you do though about an opossum in the neighborhood which has babies?
Call animal control and have them move them if they can even find these nocturnal animals?
I know she (the mother opossum) is out there but really do not want to risk another encounter between my dog and this mother opossum.
Another neighbor also has a much smaller dog than mine. I told her about the opossum mother as I did not want her dog to get hurt.

What does the law say about discharging firearms in our fair city? I assume it's OK if I shoot an intruder in my home,...what about pest animals? Are you allowed to shoot them?....I suppose a more humane approach would be to live trap them with a have a heart trap and let them loose out in the country.
