Groundhog Babies!

This groundhog is the closest thing to a pet we have.  She lives in the red building in our back yard.  This weekend is the first time this spring that her new babies have come outside the burrow.  The mama usually doesn't let me get within 50 yards of her before she scurries back into her hole, but since her babies were out, she had to stay with them and I was able to get close enough to get some pictures and video.  It was funny to watch her.  She remained frozen with her eyes on me while her babies crawled all over her.  I didn't get so close to be a threat.  I was afraid she might attack me

One of the babies (there are at least 4)

Ohmygosh! They are SO cute! We don't have groundhogs here. The closest thing would be a marmot, but they live up high on the mountains in the rocks. That is very fun to have babies in your own back yard!

How cool is that! They are so cute, but I tend to think you're right. A ticked off Mama just might unleash her wrath.

What cute babies those are! :') Thanks for sharing!

That's adorable! And it let me throw a little science into our VERY relaxed school day! Thanks for that. As for the house, I wouldn't be too discouraged. When it comes to houses, it seems the wife usually wins. 8)

Aha! Thanks for clearing up a little mystery. We see these all the time and weren't exactly sure what they were. Too cute!

Corey, they're really sort of cute aren't they. Is that the same kind of animal that was in Caddyshack? Do you guys feed them? I'm afraid they wouldn't last very long here as the dogs would terrorize them. I don't even know if we have groundhogs in Oklahoma. Maybe I was thinking about Groundhog Day. Has Bill murray starred in two movies with groundhogs in them?! Forgive me I've been to the dentist this afternoon and still sufferring from the laughing gas. Sorry about the house thing, it stinketh. Keep your chin up, it will happen. Blessings and prayers! Julie

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for visiting my blog.

Congrats on you move, this must be a very exciting time for you all. I pray that you'll have an easy move and that God will give you the grace you need to get it all done.
