Pausey - The Stopossum

Meet “Pausey the Stopossum,” a delightfully drowsy member of The Slack-Pack who’s perfected the art of pressing the “pause” button on life! Long ago, Pausey discovered that whenever something made him nervous—like a loud noise or a sudden surprise—his body would freeze up as if someone hit the brakes. At first, Pausey worried there was something wrong with him. But then he realized this “freeze mode” actually helped him rest, recharge, and plan his next move (or, you know, his next long nap).

Just like how some kids might feel stuck in their tracks when stage fright or big emotions strike, Pausey’s body reacts by going completely still. It’s kind of like having a built-in time-out that lets him gather his wits. And guess what? After a good moment of stillness, Pausey pops right back into action—usually in search of a comfy spot to snooze or a tasty treat to nibble. With a smile on his snout, Pausey reminds us all that sometimes hitting pause isn’t laziness; it’s a clever way to catch your breath and come back even stronger
