Careful with your pets ....

A wild possum tried to drink the pond water and disappeared in a big splash.


If you keep big pims (especialy in a pond) be very careful if you have other pets like cats or small dogs who may try and drink the water. They may get eaten while trying to drink ..... :shock:

Hi Taksan
A wild possum tried to drink the pond water and disappeared in a big splash.
Curious! Where abouts did this occur; and have you any more details?
