We keep our trash cans in our driveway inside the gate next to their fence so i don't know if whatever it was has been trying to get near our trash or was just hanging out in their yard. Freaked me out cuz i didnt know what it was a cat, a squirrel, a racoon, a rat, a possum, a skunk or what. But at least in ran in the opposite direction from me so i got over that. Then this morning as i'm putting the trash cans back in our backyard, on the other side of the fence i see some small dead animal lying in my neighbors yard - right near where we usually set our cans. Didnt get close enough to examine what it was, but it was white and had a tail. i told my mom and she went next door to let them know about it cuz there's no way we can just tolerate dead animals facing the side our house and driveway.

Next time I saw it, I started whistling at it and from then on whenever I whistled, she came running and got her piece of bread from me. She would not run away from me while eating the bread but I didn't want to get too friendly with her LOL.

Are you sure she didn't have you trained, Tony?

They are quite common here in S. Florida and even here on Miami Beach. Saw one at nite on busy Collins Ave. on an apartment window ledge, between the glass and the burglar bars.
I had a small one come ambling thru an old wood frame house in Miami once. Actually there was a rat hole and I saw a rat run thru the room once, so when I saw the possum I was wondering why that rat was moving so slow. It was a baby 'possum.
When I was a kid I rescued three that were lost from their mom and raised them until they drew blood when they bit me. (Not a very bright animal - biting the hand that fed them) Then they were let loose in the woods.
