I never realized how much a ground hog looks like a beaver! When I first saw the picture that is what I thought it was.

VJ, the groundhog’s face is so easy to attribute human emotions to. Maybe that is why they were used in the Narnia books as the friendly helpers. Keith

I think that too, Keith. Same with the chipmunks. Easy to see how they inspired such tales.

Mr. Groundhog looks like a plump little fella and perhaps a wee bit self-satisfied? The chipmunk looks like he’s posing for you, with his little hands clasped.

I think you are right about him being self-satisfied. Not in a hurry to scoot away, for sure. I love the little chipmunks.

I love the little chipmunks, too. My husband doesn’t like how they dig holes in the lawn.
