Well, the title kinda says it all, but...
Not sure if I have shared this here, but I rescued a baby possum back in June. He mainly lives outside in his pen, but he has an indoor pen too, for when it rains (as it has been doing the last few days). I let him roam, supervised, in a couple of contained places in the house, including on my bed. They need to get their ya-yas out by stretching their legs, or else they get physically and mentally unhealthy. We take walks several times a week (with a harness and a lead), and he rides my shoulders for miles at a time too.
I forgot I had the pickup sitting on the built in shelf on my headboard, blocked by a pillow. He snuck under the pillow really quickly, and the little booger went straight for the coolest and most expensive thing on the shelf (of course). Once they get a hold of something they want to chew, it's no fun trying to get it back. Having some past experience with doing so, I managed to do it successfully before the pickup got terribly mangled, but not before it got scarred for life.
Oh well. It's only money, I guess...and I was planning on putting a cover on it anyhow (though I bought it because I wanted the option of uncovering it in the future).
