R.O.U.S.

Dear Opossum Lady,

I am unaware what you believe to be proper animal care technique. Or, however, what you feel is a proper animal to care for. But when you come into my store and ask me if we have a book on how to train an opossum, forgive my laughter, you should understand that this is not a common request. Perhaps part of the reason I was so thrown was because, upon arrival, you seemed like a perfectly normal young woman. Then when I discovered you weren't kidding I have to admit that I got a bit nervous. You seemed a bit incredulous that nobody would write a book on how to train and keep wild animals that seem to not contribute anything to society but an overall freak factor. So, again, I am sorry for laughing, but I didn't realize that you were a new breed of cat lady. The Opossum Lady.

Yours in Fear
