Ohio Couple Spots A Hole In Their Wall And Suddenly A Little Pink Nose Wiggles Through

It started out like any normal evening for an Ohio couple. They were unwinding at home, ready to finally relax after a long day.

But their dog just wouldn’t settle. He paced around, barked nonstop, and acted like something serious was going on.

At first, they brushed it off. But the barking continued, and the pup wouldn’t take his eyes off one specific spot near the ceiling.

Eventually, they paused the TV, followed his gaze… and that’s when they noticed it.

Near the top of the living room wall, right by the ceiling, a little hole had appeared in the plaster. It definitely hadn’t been there before.

They stared at it, puzzled, wondering how they hadn’t noticed it earlier. Then, suddenly, a tiny pink nose wiggled out.

A second later, two shiny eyes and a furry gray face appeared, peeking through the hole like it was the most normal thing in the world. It wasn’t a rat. Far from it.

A brushtail possum had just popped into their living room! A wild little explorer with wide eyes and a curious face, like she was considering joining them for the evening.

Their first instinct was concern. Maybe she was trapped or scared. So they grabbed some tools and carefully widened the hole, hoping to help.

But the possum had other plans.

Before they could reach her, she backed up and vanished back inside the wall. Apparently, she wasn’t stuck; she was just checking things out.

Still worried, the couple called in a professional. Amy Wregg, a wildlife rescuer and vet nurse with a reputation for helping animals in strange situations, came right over.

With the couple watching and encouraging her, Amy carefully opened up more of the wall to see if the possum needed help.

Their main focus wasn’t the mess or the repairs; it was making sure the little visitor was safe.

As soon as the opening was wide enough, the possum took off. He climbed up onto the roof like it was her usual route.

After everything had settled down, the couple checked the house and sealed up every nook and cranny they could find to prevent any more surprise visits.

But they didn’t stop there. They also put up a special outdoor box, giving local wildlife a cozy and safe spot to rest, no wall-climbing required.

Amy loved the idea. She always says if you don’t give possums a place outside, they’ll just keep trying to make your house theirs.

And honestly, who could blame them? It’s warm, smells like snacks, and there’s a friendly dog hanging around.
