Here, have a cigar.

Remember that enormous Groundhog Hotel located conveniently in the middle of one of my gardens? The one with about ten quick exits that have enabled George the Groundhog and five hundred of his closest friends to elude capture?


Well, we’ve decided to rename him Georgina.

And congratulate us-it’s TRIPLETS!!

And because I’ve been warned by the powers that be that I’m NOT to post pics of my family, my town, my school, or my friends, I’ve decided to post other people’s pictures of groundhogs and their offspring to lead you astry from my true identity

I WILL say that one of the pictures show the proud mama and her babies. If they are anything like their mother, they will elude capture, poison, and dogs that are blind and can’t smell but can BARK UP A STORM.






It’s nice to know that someone around here is “busy”.

I'm an animal lover, so I have to say "thanks" for posting the pictures. I love them.

Take care, Sue

In my world everybody but me is getting busy...

Even the birds lately and I have to tell you... that's just nasty.

How do you get rid of Groundhogs? I'm assuming not like Caddyshack... or do you LIKE the groundhogs...

ps - maybe a bigger mask to protect your identity.. Oh! And nice cape. No wait, I remember what Edna from The Incredibles said about capes... we don't want that... A fancy hat with a feather perchance?

I have a great cat named Mickey Mouser who catches moles. I love my cat. I would loan him to you, but since you are in the custody of the secret blogger protection association I can't send him to you. ;-)

CERTAINLY not the powers that be.

男人有了外遇,但是他不想離婚
外遇情人面前,他可以享受著年輕戀愛般的美好
在回歸家庭時刻,他可以享受著老婆對他無微不至的照顧
在同事朋友面前,他可以享受著眾人對他的忌妒與羨慕
男人有了外遇,但是他不想離婚,他只想自私的擁有一切

I had a pet groundhog once, my father thought it funny but my mother did not. Something about eating her homemade cake.

Thanks for the laughs I need all I can get lately.

What anonymous said.

Seriously though how cute. They look like very low maintenance critters, I mean you only have to wash the cups right?

Lorraine said...

This is crazy. I had one try to sneak up on me earlier this evening. The sucker obviously didn't see me. Wish I had a bb gun! They've climbed up through the gate onto our pool deck and decimated the dahlias. We didn't want to leave the have-a-heart trap on the deck because we didn't want it to "cook" in the sun if it got too hot. Guess what! We changed our minds. This is war!!!

They sure are cute and cuddly looking little varmits. Wiki says they usually only live 2-3 years. Huh.

Yuck! Big fat giant rats!

Congrats on the new additions! Maybe you could give up and just start a wildlife tour through your back yard and charge for parking.
