Here at Highpants we often enjoy the odd bring your pet to work day, having to split the building into cat and dog sides is never fun but it is far less dangerous than trying to prize them apart. That never really happens of course the few old dogs and moggy’s that make it in seem to get on fine, it’s the birds that cause all of the problems.

Presented for your viewing pleasure is ME Pearls extraordinary Proper Opossum Massage video. An 8 minute epic with more cringe worthy moments than an Osmond family reunion. When it comes to loving your pet too much not many can compare to this YouTube sensation.

There is actually an entire collection of ‘Proper’ videos and books aimed at caring for your Opossum. Pearl has covered many topics, teaching everything from Opossum massage and pedicures to Psychology.

While Pearl seems to have excellent massage technique we’re still unsure if the Opossum is actually enjoying the massage, the pedicure she loves but the oily touchy feely stuff not so much.

Watch the videos, guaranteed to inform and amaze while providing that rare cringe while laughing in hysterics moment. It’s just so very very wrong in just the right ways….
