Parkers/Setters--Trajedy to miraculous recovery

[Brent Francis]

Harold, I took that picture of a little fella who was holding on trying to stay out of reach of my dog. Finally got him relocated out of the back yard to some place safe. Opossums are about the closest thing we've got to a ruffed grouse in the East Texas Woods.

Mine like to point "Porcupine". Thank God the porkies will hold for a staunch point and I can get in to heel them away (the dog that is).

[Harold Pickens]

yep, good to have a dog steady to wing and shot on porkies!

[John Taddeo]

Ha Ha Ha, amen to that Harold. They sure get a snoot full of sewing needles with every bite.

Brent, when I was a kid, I watched a baby Opossum fall of her mother's back. She had a huge litter, and that little guy was just too much (looked like a bunch of people you see in pictures in Pakistan, hanging onto a train car.
I bottle fed the little guy, and raised it. It would sit in my lap and purr like a cat while I did my homework. She slept on my bed, and was litter box trained. I had her for 6 or 7 years till she wandered off. My mother kept trying to talk me into a cat or dog, but I wouldn't have one till the Possum left. I always was a little strange.
Shut up Stosh!

Daisy and Porkies go together like steel and a magnet. She hasn't met a Porky she didn't like....to grab a hold of and shake. The last one she got spoiled a great Woodcock place (the Porkies loved it to) as we wern't there 10 min when she got a nose full. I had to take her to a vet and have he sedated so they could pull them out. It took the rest of the day.
