|  I don't know what part of Houston you live in, but I have friends that live in the Bear Creek Area (Hwy 6 and Clay Rd, Westside), and they get them in there backyard all of the time. One time my friend and I were cooking outside on the grill one evening, and a mommy possum with all it babies walked right past us like they owned the yard. They are a ugle, but it was kind of cute see mommy and babies. Also, my mom lives out in Katy, they see them all the time, but not during the day. |

| Donating YT 30K Club Member  | Gross I saw one ambling across my back yard a few weeks ago it was so ugly and slow! But it was dark out. I had to wait 10 minutes to ley Maya out to make sure it was gone. She goes in a little fenced in area.

| That definitely would have scared me... I can't believe he peed all over your front yard! LOL He just wasn't expecting anyone to walk outside, I guess!

| I would've just "calmly" called "Possum Wranglers"!!! Yeah, sure!!! I would have been mortified! Do think he was sending you a message .... peeing on your porch??  Seriously, I would keep an eye out in back when the girls are out there. Wouldn't want them to get hurt by a rabid possum!

| Actually, with all joking aside...if I walked out to a possum, I would probably pee on my own porch.  |

| I hate those things. We have trapped so many of them and the next thing I know there is another one in our yard. I live in the city so I dont know where they all come from. I used to try to keep fancy goldfish in my garden pond but one always gets in it and kills them.
