Zohey Train!!

I don't know if mommy has shared this before.. this may be a repeat.. lol.. but this is one of my opossum friend Heather's daddy's video! ROCKDOG5732 on YouTube! .. I was sick, and he made a train for me!!! :))) Mommy loves this so much.. she tells everyone!!

I am getting so excited about meeting all of the opossum community on YouTube, FaceBook, & Twitter.. I would love to schedule an Opossum "meet up" in the next year.. and we all travel (with..or without the other opossums.. because traveling is sometimes stressful for our little pink fingers & hearts!) ... to meet someone in the USA! .. like midwest.. so it's in the middle of everyone! .. Who would be interested in doing this? .. our mommies and daddies can share opossum stories.. facts, tips & tricks.. Let my mommy know! You can comment below! PS.. clink the link so you can watch the video!!

I'm not Itchy anymore!

I visited Dr. Drake last week, and she gave me a special shampoo, mommy has to bathe and brush me every other day to strip the oils from my skin.. I have almost completely stopped shedding in only one week and the flakes are already gone! Mommy can hold me now without breaking out in a rash!

Mutt March!!

Mutt march was terribly exciting, and I got to go on stage with mommy to announce my job with Paws for Friendship, and why I am a service opossum! There was a lot of vendors, and I got to try some pretty awesome food from the whole food stand! I was able to walk around in the grass behind the pavillion & go potty in private! 


We we able to get a lot of new people to take flyers home to hopefully sign up their pets! 


Mommy gave out many of my cards, so i hope to get many new followers!! 


Everyone have a wonderful night!

Thanks to all of the generous donations and thoughtful prayers.. I am in perfect health! I have been off of my antibiotics now for 6 months, and my pouch has been clean! Everything is fine!

Mommy is so busy with school right now, but I have a new friend, in addition to Tylar... his name is Paxtyn.. he is a Bengal kitten!

My skin is still really dry.. but i'm hoping it will be better with omega 3 fish oils that mommy is giving me!

I have heard a lot about my opossum friends in the opossum fan community on Facebook.. here is a brief update!

Heather: is a tiny bit hyperactive, and may have a UTI.. so prayers for heather!

Back in the action!

Now that everything is back on track, mom is ready to start taking me back to work! We will start on sunday by going to Emeritus Nursing care in Carrollwood Fl from 11-1pm! Have my service vest, Will travel! 


Me and the kitten are getting along quite well, although he is trying to steal my food, and I'm ready to bite his head off! But hes good to cuddle with!


My friends Charlie & Linus from Alabama will be moving closer to me, they got adopted by a lady in gainsville and so now they will be in visiting range!


My health has been so wonderful since the hemroid emergency! I've been using my new puppy pad box, because tylar has taken over the litter boxes! I've been off of my antibiotics now for over a month! My urine has been clean, and I've been having regular bowel movements, good color/texture! my attitude has been a little grumpy, but mommy thinks its from the cold weather, i dont want to be out of my bed! It's so comfy and warm! When mommy puts me in the office with her (where the heater is on) i will come out of the bed and explore! :)


Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

My new friendship is blossoming!

My new friend Tylar (the kitten) is so adorable... We sleep together, eat together, play together and purr together! If you would call what i do, purring! 


Everywhere I walk, Tylar plays with my tail! He also has to pee & poo inside of every one of my litter boxes! 


Mommy has some new footage on video of me and Tylar playing, well, tylar playing with me! opossums dont play much! between Shadow trying to bring me her toys and barking at me, and tylar swating at my tail... i must look like a toy!! 


Mommy will post the videos this week, we are all going over to Grammie and Grampas house for Christmas for the week! Clearwater from sunday to sunday! 


Happy Holidays! You will hear from me soon with new videos and pictures of me and tylar destroying the Christmas Tree!

Jingle bells and Christmas Treats!

Merry Holidays everyone! This week has been so fun and exciting! After my horrible adventure to the scary ER, I went to see Dr. Drake and everything has been A-Okay since mommy started my new medications! :)

Today mommy took me to PetsMart © to get a pet ionizer.. because i guess my litter box is stinky! At PetsMart © we met some really fun and exciting people! She gave out some of my business cards, so i'm expecting some new followers soon!

So, everything with my tummy and reproductive system looks like it is up and running fine! I am back to my piggy self, eating crickets and avacadoes! I am using my litter box again, which is a relief to mommy and daddy...

Well, I will write some more tomorrow, Mommy is watching the Wisconsin Badgers VS Hawai'i bowl!

GO BADGERS!!!!

PS: Hello to the girl and the woman I met in walmart tonight around 9:30pm at the cash register, mommy didnt catch your names! Hopefully i can meet you in person at PetsMart © or somewhere!


Goodnight to all!

UPDATE!! <3 <3 <3

Hello everyone! I recently had surgery, and OVH, it went well without any complications! A week later, i had vomiting and loose stool and mommy had to run me back to Dr. Drake.  This wasnt what she was expecting. I had stopped eating, and taken a turn for the worse! She gave me IV fluids, and flagil to help my stool.. everything looked up! I was getting better!

About 3 days ago, i began rubbing my booty on the carpet and leaving lines of green poo everywhere, mommy got concerned, and added fiber to my diet, prescribed by dr. drake.  I continued the batril and flagil, but then golden urine came, which meant i am dehydrated. Mommy forced fluids, and continued the meds, but i've been getting worse. Saturday night mommy and daddy ran me to the emergency room in tampa because i had lost over an ounce of blood through my vent! (My booty). because opossums ureathra a anus are connected inside the same opening (or exit), we are not sure where i am bleeding from exactly.  The animal ER called Dr. Drake at home and gave mommy strict instructions, high fiber diet, rest, and new meds.  I am eating science diet W/D cat food, with and increase in my batril antibiotics (this time it is fluid) and another anti iflammatory.

I am completely healed from my surgery, but this looks like i may have had a hemroid or something else may have ruptured.  I am straining when i use the potty, and i am uncomfortable it i stand up... I am refusing to eat and they had to give me emergency fluids last night.  Tomorrow morning, Monday, mommy is dropping me off with Dr. Drake at 7:30am to be observed by them. They havent seen the blood and mucous yet because i do it at home, so mommy wants dr. drake to take a look.

Everyone, i need your prayers, and please hope for the best, i would like to go see the little kids at metropolitian minitries this week!
