Playing Possum

Last night, a possum crept across our neighbor's backyard around 7:30 p.m. Elliot - our trained hunting dog that never hunts - shot across our yard and our neighbor's yard in about two seconds. We thought he got it - but it was just "playing possum." About ten minutes later, when it was sure the coast was clear, the possum scurried away.
