Possums
It was in the grill in the yard so I caught it and moves it over to a vineyard away from where my dogs can go
Alt text. A picture of apossum in a small bathtub with white foam on its head. Over the bath is a shelf with a rubber duck on it. Blue text above the image reads 'I am in Spain'. Pink text below the image reads 'But without the "in"'.
When possums are frightened, they enter an involuntary comatose state where they look like they are "playing dead". This makes them look unappetizing to predators. Once the threat has passed they are able to awaken! They also secrete a horrible stench when frightened. [Source](https://opossumsocietyus.org/general-opossum-information/opossum-defense-mechanisms/)

It's been on my WIP list since last year's pride, so it felt good to finish it during pride month this year. > > Still needs a wash and framing (washing in warm water will erase the grid), but just happy to finally finish a WIP! > > [Image description: A cross stitch of a screaming opossum, sitting in a flower bed of purple, pink, and blue flowers, holding a bi pride flag. The aida fabric has a faint grey grid woven in to the fabric itself.]
