What's that coming over the hill, is it a Possum?

As some of you may or may not know, whilst house sitting in Brissie we're also looking after several animals that Duncan & Jennifer (House owners) have. There are three tanks of fish, around 9 chickens and one possum.

In fact, he's not just any old possum, oh no no no. This is Percy. Percy was abandoned by his mother and Jennifer and Duncan have been looking after him until his strong enough to look after himself in the wild. I suggested that tattoos and a biker jacket may make him look more menacing. I seemed to have missed the point.

Well Percy has become an integral part of our stay here and it's great looking after him. He does pee and shit at very random times, but hey, who doesn't when they're growing up.

Being nocturnal, for the first couple of hours of the evening he does like to stay in the dark for a bit, so we'll either wrap him up in a dressing gown on Clare will stick him inside her fleece.....and this is where the story starts.

A couple of nights a go, Clare put Percy inside her fleece (she was wearing it at the time) and his little nose was poking up through the zip. We sat down in front the the TV, with Clare rubbing the nose of little Percy. Occasionally he would move about but generally stay still. Clare stroked his face for around 15 minutes until a break in the TV programme. It was only then that she looked down to see how Percy was doing. Looking inside her fleece she realised that when he had moved around 10 minutes earlier, he had actually turned completely around and that his butt was now in the air. It suddenly dawned on Clare that she had in fact been stroking arse for around 10 minutes. FUNNY!
