Sweet Tart the Virginia (O)possum 💙RIP Waffles💙
@wafflesopossum
I'm a non-release rescue (o)possum, adopted from a wildlife rehabber. I love snuggles and I am a total sweetheart! I don't understand why humans are so mean to each other. Humans need to love, love, love. She/Her/They/Them🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ (O)possum questions are okay.
Mama & I need your advice. She doesn't work. She's agoraphobic due to past trauma. Mamas therapist suggested she try to monetize me on YT. She's bad at making videos but she wants to know if she tries to do it would y'all subscribe and watch me? Just wondering. She hasn't done anything yet. 💖🍬💖
I'm in deep thought about whether to bite Mama or not, for hacking into my BlueSky page, yesterday. Hmmmmm...💖🍬💖
I had so much fun last night!I figured out how to get up on Mom and Dad's bed by myself while I was 'sploring! Mom wouldn't wake up until I bit the fur on her head! The problem was that nobody would wake up and 'splore with me. They're boring at 0430. Here I am torturing my dog sister Nebula Pi! 💖🍬💖
Gotta hold on to my leg while I'm sleeping so it doesn't run away! 💖🍬💖
This morning, I wanted to party! I stood on the big pillow next to my den and sneezed until Mama woke up. Then I 'splored everywhere with Mama. I even had her take me outside to perch on her shoulder & sniff everything! Now I'm exhausted! I've been sleeping away all day long in Mama's lap of course!
Dad gave me part of a sushi roll this evening! I think I got a little too excited! 💖🍬💖
Nap Post, Part II - Mama snuck a couple of pictures of me while I was snoozing really well! 💖🍬💖
This is how I take my naps during the day. I stare at my Mama while she's talking to my family or watching something on TV, and she's soooooo boring that I fall fast asleep! 😘💖🍬💖 *Sorry - I forgot to post the picture in my last post, so I had to start all over! 🤭
Mama had surgery yesterday, so I spent most of my day with my human sibling. It was cool. I felt like a big girl! After Mama got home, she smelled funny, but I did a great job of taking care of her, as you can see in the picture! 💖🍬💖
Good morning, tantishiney! I'm having a very busy morning, as you can see! 😂 💖🍬💖
When Mama bugs you all morning, but all you wanna do is sleep! 💖🍬💖
That's exactly why I'm here for y'all. Mama explained some of it to me. I don't really understand why a lot of humans are mean, but my family and my friends aren't mean. I'm happy you're here. Here's a special picture, just for you!
I just wanted to say hi and I hope everyone is going to have a great week! 💖💖💖
Mama said I snore when I'm sleeping sometimes. I didn't believe her. Then she recorded me snoring, dreaming, and sleeping with my eyes open! I snore! You'll have to turn the volume up! 😂💖💖💖
Yes! My Mama says she has even been able to pet our outside wild opossum! Although, I like it better when she pets me. Mama said if it's legal in your area, adopt a non-release opossum like me, from a wildlife rehabber. They need loving homes, just like I did and just like my brother, Waffles did.💖💖
I'm always ready! See my scary teefers?
I'm getting in some new teefers - I'll have FIFTY when I'm all done! I really like to chew on my toothbrush that Mama uses to brush my fur. It feels soooo good and I have pretty white teefers after I'm finished! 💖💖💖
...and I think they might like me, too! When I want to 'splore, they put me on something called a "cat tree." I really like climbing up and down on it, and there's a little den for me to take breaks and take baths. That's lots of fun. Anyway, there's my update. Thank you for being my new friends!
Ummm...hi! My name is Sweet Tart. My Mama and my Dad picked me up from my rehabber's house the day before yesterday. I hope I can live up to my brother's legacy! I wish I had met him. 😰 Mama said he was a sweet boy and he had the greatest friends on here. Hopefully you will be my friend, as well!💖💖
Unfortunately, the non-release boy we were going to adopt today passed away last night. BUT we ended up adopting a little girl and we can't settle on a name! Another food name like Waffles and his sister? Sweet Tart? Pop Tart? She is so precious and shy. Any suggestions? Thanks! 💖, Mama
🥰EXCITING NEWS🥰 We will be adopting another non-release opossum! It's another baby boy, and he has a broken pelvis, so he has to use a wheelchair for physical therapy to build his muscles up. I'm not sure what day we will be getting him (I have a simple surgery on Friday), but I'll let y'all know!
And thank YOU again, for being such a beautiful friend. The little bottle on the top of the box has his fur in it and his name engraved on the heart attached to it. And some of his aquamains are already in a necklace, next to my flower necklace that has our dog, Babygirl. He's near my heart forever.
Waffles' aquamains came back today, along with his paw print in sand and a few other paw prints they made for us. His aquamains are in the box, and behind it is a picture his human sibling made for me, for Mother's Day last year. Some of his fur is in a bottle on top of the box. Bye, sweet boy. 💔😰
RIP WAFFLES. He passed away last night at 12:15 am CDT. It was fast. No suffering. Here are some of his final pictures. I'll probably keep his page up for memories. We'll miss you, sweet baby boy. 💔 I probably won't respond, but I'll read everything. I'm crumbling. We love you all. 💙, Mama
I wonder what the vet did? Oh! And one more tip - if you find a (o)possum caught in netting and who has been there so long, the net is starting to grow into the bridge of his nose, grab that (o)possum and call a rehabber STAT! Then that (o)possum can be adopted by a Mama like I have! That's me!💙💙💙💙💙
Hi! I know, Mama is horrible about helping me post. I'm doing great! We had a tornado warning scare last night, but nothing happened and we are all good! I decided to stay in my den most of today, after all of that crazy stuff. Anyway, Mama asked me to post this important info, so here you go! 💙💙💙💙💙
Mama figured out she lives under our shed/chicken coop. She said she's going to start feeding her more often, because she's going to have babies. I'M MAMA'S BABY! This has been a bad, rainy Saturday already. 😫
MAMA CHEATED ON ME! This morning, Dad found the outside opossum, Cranberry Turkey, in the chicken run, eating chicken food. He came in and woke up Mama and she went outside in the rain, to see her. Mama said she's pregnant (not even in her pouch yet), and she brought out some of MY food for her!
So, Dad told Mama and me that he thinks Mama should write a children's book about me. I'm kinda shy about that, as you can see. What do you think?
My dog sister, Nebula Pi, is 120 lbs of snuggly warmth. I decided to sleep with her last night, instead of in my den, which gave Mama a morning, pre-coffee heart attack. 😏 Can you find me in this picture?
