1/4: Sydney possum treated for burns

[warch]

Poor little gipper...I can hear him squeeking.
A few years back I was awakened in the wee hours by a strange squeeking cry out my window. I checked it out and a tiny baby 'possum had fallen into a small but deep ditch between our apartment and the next. Glowwy eyes! ratty tails! Mom possum was about 8 feet away, clinging to the back fence with another baby on her and crying back. Animal rescue begins- I managed to manuever the wiggly and crying even louder thing onto a broom (hopefully not too many pokes to the face!) and scooped it out of the ditch. It ran right to Mom and up a tree. Oh, Be free little glowy-eyed rat thing....
