Since I hyped up, I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce you to Freddie-the opossum that lives outside of my apartment. I am on the second floor so we he is in the tree we are eye-level! I think something might be wrong with Freddie because opossum are supposed to be nocturnal, but he has been running around during the day.
No, mom, he does not have rabies-I actually learned this week that opossums are not related to rodents, they are marsupials and rarely are infected with rabies and rarely transmits diseases to humans because of their low body temperatures.
Anyway, here's Freddie:
Just kidding!!! But wouldn't that be funny? Seriously, here he is:
His name is an ode to my brother, Carter, who as a little boy would name everything some version of Fred: Fred, Freddie, Fredieta, you get the picture. He was an extremely creative child. He also named he spotted gecko, Spot.
