Well in 5 years I have had Callie nothing like that has ever happened therefor there wouldn't have been a need for me to have her on a leash before that because one everything she could possibly get under in our back yard has chicken wire around it, two we do many walk arounds to check for holes around the fence, three Callie is to big to be picked up by an owl, and four WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE! I am not allowing her to run around an unfenced yard like some people do so why not go attack them. I keep Callie safe!

And no I think you should go back and look at my posts when someone has posted that something scary like that has happened I post oh my glad every one is ok! I am not kidding go back and read and you will see! I am not a terrible person who wishes bad on everyone.

Gessh calm down, why are you so defensive?

Can I ask a possibly dumb question - is there a difference between an "opossum" and a "possum?" I've always just called them possums.

I'm up north and call them possums so might be certain areas of the country. Or maybe I'm just a weirdo lol But pretty sure they are the same thing.

Nugget, a miniature schanzuer we had growing up, came face to face with a possum one night. We usually just let her loose in the backyard with the light on and the one night she went to the shadowy part of the backyard and we hear her growling and barking. I go out and I hear thrashing in the bushes so I shined my light out off the porch and see her trying to get into it with a possum. Luckily, all you have to say to her is, "you want a treat" and she comes running so she made it out okay but it is still incredibly scary!

I'm glad Callie made it out unharmed!!

I did not attack you- I didn't agree with you nor did I give you support. I also said Calli should have been on a leash!

If you think that is attacking then maybe you need a dictionary.

You know, this is exactly how you made me feel the first time I came on here. I left. Then came back under a different name and decided to not post anything I can be attacked for. Hope we all can remain friends.

Woah, what happened here? lol....

I just want to add that I think why people were coming down a bit harder on lovetodream88 was because in a lot of her recent posts, she would be seemingly judgmental towards a poster if they were doing something she felt was unsafe, or whatever... I had noticed it in the past few weeks of posting. JMO. So it seems like she maybe got a taste of her own medicine? Either way, always sad to see a long time member leave.

As far as the topic of this thread goes, I do let Jackson outside at night without a leash in my dads fenced in yard. I walk out with him and watch him, mainly to make sure he truly goes potty but also to keep an eye out for wildlife. He's also 16lbs and bigger. Just seeing a possum out back wouldn't make me decide to freak out and buy a gun, though, either... like most said, possums usually won't hurt anything, even though they can be nasty buggers.
