Here ya go!!! We used to sing this when I was little and we'd say 'possum' instead of 'skunk' cause there are more of them in Bama. My God...you really CAN find ANYTHING on the internet.

Our lab, Rusty was tied up outside one night and he was barking his head off. Megan looked out the window and there was one laying in the drive way. We brought Rusty in and called the animal control officer. We thought it was dead. By the time he came out it was GONE! He told us that when they are threatened they pee all over themselves and then "play dead". He said that is where the term "playing possum" comes from. Once they aren't in danger any longer they escape. So, your possum probably was sick or something. They usually only come out at night.

EEEW! I love animals, however EEEW!! I am completely terrified of thing's like that!! We live near woods and I've been told that we have them as well as bats!

Well, I googled possums and OH Lawdy!!! Why did I do that...I am not a prissy chick, ok I am when it comes to shoes, rodents, and my nails but EEEW!

Hey that is really gross about the pee on your porch. Be careful of those possums!!!!!!!! There was a racoon in the tree right next to our front door. I took KimMee out there to get a better look and it charged us. Me- running in flip flops with KimMee climbing to the top of my head. My husband was LHAO

I live in HOUSTON practically in the City and have never seen a possum up close....HE was practically ringing my doorbell !

I thought these creatures only came out at night ?

Are you sure he was more scared or did you not share "all details" with us...haha....this was really funny- thanks for the laugh I needed that-

Maybe he had your avon order--dingdong--

I've always heard that about raccoons, too. 'If you see them in the day, go the other way.'

LOL Vilette, get the Pinesol out! They usually are noctural...but if the food source is scarce...they will come out during the day. We have tons around here....I used to bring the baby possums home when I was little...to my Mom's horror! He peed on himself because you frightened him...I'm surprised he didn't play dead!
