Opossum

Opossum the tripod

Hello there! I am not an opossum as you can tell but let me tell you how I got that funny name. When I was first seen all by myself by the animal control in a small town near San Antonio, I had some bare spots in my beautiful hair, and yup, you guessed it I had a bare-naked tail. So, they called me Opossum.

But as you can see now, I have lots of long hair on my little tail and it has filled in or is filling in nicely on the other bare spots on my body. Seems like my body was stressing out over being abandoned on the streets and my hair was falling out all over! But those days are over now.

I don’t really have a back story but I will tell you what I know. I am about 10 years old now, so I am a senior gal, but I am a happy senior. I tolerate the puppies when they come racing to see me and play a little with them, but when I am done, I let them know with a little growl and then they leave me alone. Other dogs and cats don’t bother me at all.

I was once a much-loved pet because I only have 3 legs. Someone sometime decided that the back right leg was injured and had to come off, but after all this time, I don’t miss it at all. I may walk a little funny but who doesn’t at my age!

I spend a lot of time sleeping in my bed and am potty trained. I like to go outside, especially when it is nice outside and sleep on a bed in the sun on the deck. Boy does that make the old bones feel good! I do love a good stroll around the yard, just to check things out but always come back to bed.

My activity level varies between “I feel like taking a nap” to “just waking up from a nap”, and foster mom has never heard me bark. I am a good old girl who just wants to find a forever place to live…and nap!
