OPIE'S FIRST SKY CAM PICTURE 7-7-08

The first picture was taken a couple of nights after the sky cam was installed. I was trying to get a shot of him washing his face. He moved down with his head just out of the shot and washed his face for about 3 minutes. I was so frustrated, but I will keep trying.

Bill took this second picture the first night with the SkyCam. The first time I watched Opie eat, he had come from the opposite direction and I could see more of his face. I even got to watch him wash his face. (The cute thing is to watch him take a whole bath. He cleans his ears and body with his back feet. Remember, the feet also have opposable "thumbs".)

Opie is not inside the fence. The fence is used to keep the dog and the bigger 'possums out of the bedroom. Evidently, Opie was small enough to get through some of the bigger spaces by the gate. I don't think he can do that now, and he ran away only 10 days ago.
