Remember that cute little groundhog from my earlier post Critters on Bonnie Lane?
http://bonnielane.blogspot.com/2008/06/critters-on-bonnie-lane.html Well he is back, and this time he came a little closer.
Look where I found him! On my deck under a chair!

He came onto the deck to feast on the leaves of the one tiny plant that is growing up through the boards of the deck.

I don't mind him from afar, but wasn't too pleased to see him this close to my house!
Jakey wasn't too pleased either. He is looking at the groundhog and wondering, what is that?

Run and hide from the beast, Jakey!

It's okay. Warrior poet Sean will go all evil on that critter!

Ah, at last he is gone...taking with him the leaves of the plant. The deck is safe once more.

It's okay to come out now, Jake. "Are you sure, Mommy?"

Whew, after all that excitement, a puppy boy needs his sleep!

I was hoping the groundhog wouldn't get so brave as to come back to my deck, but I just noticed that the new leaves on the plant are gone again. Looks like I need to get out there with the snippers and take care of it.
Just a note: No woodchucks were harmed in the commission of this post. Also Jakey has taken me to task and wants you all to know that he really wasn't scared, but that he barked like the King of his yard that he is and scared off the little furry beast.
Have a great evening all!
