A Celebration of Sasha's Life

Sasha has now not been seen for over two years. It is not impossible that she is still out there and has moved to a new territory, however she was very old and was behaving oddly the last time she was seen, so it seems likely that her time had come. 

While I don't want to single out Sasha over any of the other possums in the area, she has lived here longer, and had more babies, than any other possum, and she deserves to have her life celebrated. She does not deserve to fade into obscurity once the blog mentions stop.

Update 25th November 2021 - In Memory of Marcel

First some very sad news; Marcel was hit by a car on the road. He was found in the morning, badly injured, and had to be euthanized by the vet. He has been buried in the garden next to Rahmet.

Update 2nd October 2021 - Introducing Jedi

Shane has brought (at some risk - see later) her first baby to show the humans. The baby is a tough and active one and has been named Jedi. I think Jedi is female, but I'm not sure.

Update 16th August 2021 - Introducing Blake and Blossom

Sasha's latest baby is back-riding and has been named Blake. Wink's baby has also just started back-riding and has been named Blossom. Here are photos of the two youngsters on their first visits to the house.
