She woke up every hour and a half during the night to feed them, and we teased her about the lengths to which she goes to avoid the empty nest syndrome now that Debbie's in college.

Catch a Possum by the Tail
Another event you loyal readers find out about months after it occurred is The Great Possum Rescue. A mother opossum was hit by a car near my parents' house; hours later when my mom came upon it, she found that two of its newborn babies were still alive inside its pouch. She mothered them for a day and a half before taking them to a woman in Ithaca who cares for orphaned animals.
She woke up every hour and a half during the night to feed them, and we teased her about the lengths to which she goes to avoid the empty nest syndrome now that Debbie's in college.
