No sign this morning of it digging out, but we can't find a second entrance to this burrow, so either it has none, or it has one we haven't found yet. I set the trap too, at an angle, with the result this morning that the bait was gone and the trap door not tripped - maybeLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-42270659263442123852007-07-07T06:59:00.000-04:002007-07-07T06:59:00.000-04:00Of course, the ground hog has to grow so it can fi...Of course, the ground hog has to grow so it can fill out <A HREF="http://www.rockabilly-wildstreak.de/Bilder/Gestaltungs-Pics/Elvis-fat.jpg" REL="nofollow">Elvis' suit</A>.O.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00813493027866797701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-45381362774803544332007-07-07T06:45:00.000-04:002007-07-07T06:45:00.000-04:00Well, it hasn't exactly been on a diet...

So, I guess we have to get a bigger trap. How about a bear trap, think that will do?LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-58339687797945268842007-07-05T18:06:00.000-04:002007-07-05T18:06:00.000-04:00"My name is Ground Hog.
