I really want a pet opossum. It will never happen, but I can dream.

Why not?

We have dogs, and I don’t know if they would get along. Plus, I think it’s something that just happens (like, you find an injured opossum and decide to nurse it to health) rather than a pet you buy. But you never know, maybe one day!

Edit: just looked it up, and it’s illegal in my state. So it’s not happening unless I move.

Ah damn i thought these guys were a standard pet you can get/adopt by now. Dogs are great too tho :D
