I didn't look at the photo, but Carol's post reminded me of the time,
several years ago, when I saw a giant possum climbing up a grape vine on
our porch! It was terrifying. That tail! The skin was a pale icky pink--and
had a rat-like essence.

Thank you for identifying them, Meghan and Marytha. I thought they were
kind of cute for rats! No obvious evidence of foul play. Deanna at the
Health Dept thought they might have eaten poison. I’m going to call her to
update the record.

Oh no, those are POSSUMS! Poor little babies. They are great at eating
pests like ticks! Hope it's not a widespread issue.

I just walked into our backyard (which we rarely use) and found the
corpses of two rats (pictures below). I called the Health Dept and they’re
sending someone out next week to check the property. Has anyone else
observed rats, dead or alive, around the neighborhood?
Thanks,
Carol
