A groundhog in my garden.

I was sitting in my bed yesterday evening, reading a new Linux book, when Caligula ran into the bedroom and jumped into the window, all puffy tailed. He was watching something that was in my garden, I assumed it was a bird, or a bug, or a chipmunk, squirrel maybe? But he kept examining this creature, so I got up and looked out the window.

A big fat groundhog.

EATING MY CUCUMBER PLANTS!

I was a bit annoyed, but then thought to get my camera, because even evil garden-eating groundhogs are supercute.

I got a picture of him running away.

I’ve looked a little online for some animal repellant stuff, most contain rotton eggs. The trouble with rotton eggs is that my garden is right next to my bedroom window. I’ll keep looking at my options, maybe there is some non-nasty stuff I can find at the Home Depot or something.
