A couple of days ago, having galloped across to breakfast ahead of Mum, Zoo grabbed "her" piece of bread and "hid" in the corner because Mum wasn't there for her to hide behind...
Then yesterday, Zoo galloped across, again, grabbed her piece of bread and crouched in the corner, defiantly eating her bread, while glaring at me, ha ha.
Today, she casually leant against the pillar, that makes up part of the corner, and ate her bread...
Still watching me, though... ha ha.
If she knew that I'm the one who makes sure that "her" specially hand selected piece of bread is "there", exactly where it should be, I still probably wouldn't be any less "frightening", ha ha.
Takeaway's having some breakfast while Zoo, ever the intrepid explorer, explores, intrepidly... ha ha.
"The other woman" comes to the door bearing news of a cuppa...
Takeaway looks up, and smiles at her, while Zoo hastily disappears behind Mum, her little tail hanging below the line of the bridge, flicking from side to side - I'm not happy about this... ha ha.
I said "Give it a count of about ten, and her curiosity will get the better of her...".
And... pretty much right on time... a little face appeared beside Mum's... ha ha.
She's growing in confidence.
A few nights back she found herself hanging by her tail from a bridge.
(If you hadn't climbed off Mum's back, to go exploring, you wouldn't be in that predicament...).
She looked down to bridge, below...
That looks looks like it's a long way away...
I think I'll climb up onto the bridge, above...
It must've been last night she took it upon herself to explore the Brown house roof.
Which is really easy to get up onto...
But...
For a little possum it looks like a long way down from the roof to the bridge...
(It's about the same distance as she was facing a couple of nights ago...).
Well, there's nothing for it, Mum's doing the "I'm going now..." shuffle, so I shall have to be courageous... I shall have to step into the abyss...
And so she did...
And upon landing on the bridge she said.... Oh, that wasn't so hard, after all... ha ha.
Mum! Wait for me!!
The endlessly amusing learning curve of the little possum, ha ha.
