Once she did that, she was on her way to find me so she can make sure that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
She came around the corner and there I am nose to nose in a stare down with a HUGE fat woodchuck! Obviously, mom didn't have her camera so you will just have to believe us. The only difference is that this picture needs to be reversed. The woodchuck's back is next to the chain link fence and I'm staring him down from the opposite direction.
Mom SCREAMED for me to "COME" and of course, I ignored her.
I think all of her frantic commotion scared the woodchuck worse than I scared him. He turned and SQUEEZED himself underneath the chain link gate that separates Uncle Tom's yard and my yard. Mom and I stood there in awe. We have no clue how he got his fat porky little body underneath the gate. There is only 2 inches clearance. He had to have scraped his belly up and gored his back pretty good but we didn't see any damage on him. He just ran for the cover of his hole underneath the shed!
That will teach you to follow me when you let me out from now on, mom - at least until the snow flies!
Love ya lots♥
Molly
Oh my goodness!! That must have been pretty scary!! We have lots of groundhogs living under the shed in our yard too. We do NOT feed him...but he is quite ROUND as he has a pretty steady diet of our apple and cherry trees! We hope that your groundhog does not come out and bother you anymore!! Be careful Molly! (and Mom too!!)
ReplyDeletewell done bravo apaws apaws you are the winner of the stare-battle! maybe he came to you as he was much thinner and smaller and he found so much food that he couldn't fit under the fence no longer? that happened to the mama too as she came to my dad... she furst was small and thin and now... well ya now heheheheh
ReplyDeleteWhew! That was pretty scarey. You do know that if you scare the humans, they will forget to pass out treats.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOLLY I heard a squeal from the north the other day must have been your mom. I suspect the woodchuck is kinda like the cat...they say if a cat's head fits..the rest of his body will too. Fat little guy must have inhaled a big breath then made a dash....no as long as it is being fed it will not leave. MOLMOL smart little guy!
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bfff

Joey dog and I cornered a woodchuck in our yard once. It turned and hissed at us. We would have done epic battle with it, but it darted into the back door of the garage. We doggies got locked out until the woodchuck finally zoomed out the front of the garage. We never saw it again!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I like the comment that when your Mom called you you ignored her!!! That would be Treacle all over!!! I am so glad it resolved itself without anyone being harmed. I cannot believe the Woodchuck got under that gate either. You did well defending your Mom Molly. Hugs, Susie xx
ReplyDeleteWow! That would have been so scary! You are definitely a super hero girl now. That woodchuck could have chucked you. LOL!
ReplyDeleteUncle Tom has no idea what trouble he is causing and such distress for your poor Mom. We can't believe he got under that fence. We always wonder how the dumb bunnies get in our yard since it is so well fenced. But they manage somehow. Glad you were OK.

Uncle Tom's Cabin....BOL! What a cheeky woodchuck! Doesn't he know what that fence is for? We're glad you got him out of YOUR garden...with a bit of help from mum. And you did the terrier thing....don't come when there's work to be done...good work.
ReplyDeleteHailey is sorry you didn't make him dinner!
ReplyDeleteGood you scared him away! They must be like mice who can get in very tight holes

That was a close call. Good thing neither of you were hurt.
ReplyDeleteGood thing he wasn't a woodchuck with a temper! I would have been scared for you too!
ReplyDeletewell done you!! I have never seen a woodchuck in person, I don't want to!
ReplyDeleteDakotasDen
Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Woodchuck???? I have never smelled such a thing! I am very good at catching things like squirrels and bunnies and muscrat, perhaps I could come help you with your Woodchuck? Yum!!
ReplyDeleteGosh you must be very brave!!!! I don't know what a woodchuck is but it looks very scary. I chase possums here and sometimes they sit on the power line out the front of our house and we have stare offs for hours!!!
ReplyDeletewell done!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie :)
Wow, way to go, Molly! Thank goodness that you are so intimidating that the woodchuck flattened himself like a cartoon character to go under the fence. Your mom was great backup for you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am relieved too... I hear that woodchucks can be pretty ferocious!
Molly, you're a HERO!!!! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
