A friend of mine works at an emergency vet’s and she was fostering some orphaned baby possums that got brought in. Ordinarily, one should never handle an animal this much if they’re intended to be reintroduced back into the wild, but A) my pal is a professional and B)possums are duuuuuuuuuuumb and will forget their human helpers pretty much within hours of being re-released.

Does this qualify as a joygasm?

I would say….Yes.

*squees* Wow you’re feeling total baby animal ecstasy! Are there photos??
I love how one of the babies is smiling.
SurlyQueen
There ARE photos…You’re right, I should post those!

Is she still going to be so happy when she has possum pop and pee in her hair?
SurlyQueen
Fortunately, they’ve got pretty good control in that area.
(I would not have been as happy had that not been the case!)

Happiness is a box of opossums, you never know what you’re going to get. But they’re highly resistant to rabies, so probably not that.
SurlyQueen
That is absolutely correct!

Okay what is the deal? Why do you have those?
