Mythical creatures

Well slap me silly and call me Ranger Rick. Woodchucks do exist. 

You know how I know this to be true? 

Because this mythical creature appeared at my back door yesterday. 

What the dirty word kind of joke is this? 

Trey had been out of the state for less than 24 hours and our home was being threatened by odd mythical creatures. 

After our mouse horror, I was convinced this was the mutant king rat coming to haunt me into a slow and unusual death. 

After some reasearch (Wikipedia) and a consultation of an expert (budget and finance guy at the university. Best I could do on a short notice) the conclusion was made that the creature was a woodchuck. 

I told my mom the only woodchuck I want in my life would be chilled and in my fridge. 

I don't think she got my jokes. 

We live smack dab in the middle of town. Can you imagine if we lived in the county? Or worse yet...a farm? 

There are few things I hate more in this life than critters. Critters and Walmart. 

Truth be told I only really like animals in a zoo. What with their homes behind fences and trained (albeit crazy) professionals tending to their feedings and poopings. 

I can't stop looking out my window in search for the darn thing. Might as well be a unicorn in my yard. 

Hurry home, Trey. This is not battle one should have to fight alone. 



Let's play I spy the woodchuck. 


My friends are comedians. Enter Amanda's texts to me. Caption- "our yard has woodchucks too". This coming from the same girl who sent me scary pictures of mice after our nightmare this summer. Thanks, Amanda, for always showing compassion and concern for my trials and tribulations.

I can't find the woodchuck in the picture of your yard! Agh! Can you give me a hint as to what quadrant of the photo? And that is the first time I've ever used the word quadrant in a sentence. Idon't even know who I am anymore..... That's what this dang "can you spy the woodchuck" thing is doing to me.

Northeast quadrant, Tricia Patricia.
