6 MORE WEEKS OF...SUMMER??

We have a new "family member"....one we hope only stays for a short visit :)

A groundhog has taken up residency under the shed in our backyard! Over the years, we have had the standard birds, squirrels, chipmunks and snakes. We've also had the occasional possum, raccoon, hawk (in our pool...twice!); we've even had a snapping turtle and a deer. But this little guy (or gal) seems to want to stay. So far, it's been 3 days...3 days that we know of. We've researched getting rid of it (what I mean by that is encouraging the groundhog to find another home...we wouldn't actually harm it as it appears to be no threat) but found out that there is a slight chance that there might be baby groundhogs so we'll wait a few weeks and see if it/they leave on their own.

Boo thinks the animal is kind-of neat and now....so does the neighbor's cat! Guess we'll have to see what happens :)
