Remember the dandelion eating woodchuck I posted about a while back?
We’ve discovered she lives under our barn.
And yes, she’s a she because…
She has babies!
Baby chuckers… can I get an awwwww?
They’re just too cute.
Four in total …but I rarely see them together long enough to get a photograph.
Three is the most I’ve captured so far.
Sweetness!
Here’s one trying to hide under my iron garden bird.
Well, not quite.

This little one seems to like our back deck.
You can hear him scurrying for cover under the grill… then catch him checking to see if the coast is clear.
This looked like trouble…
But after a few nibbles, he decided he didn’t like geraniums…which was good news for me.
I hate to tell you, but this probably won’t be the last of the baby chucker pics.
You’ve been warned.
River's world..... 
I am quite jealous that you have baby animals on site to take pictures of! Awwwwwww. So, what will you be naming them, Aunt River? Want my patented Randomator to spit out some suggestions for you?

We rarely have babies so this is a treat. And thanks, but I’d rather not name them The, As and It so I’ll pass on the Randomator.

You will certainly get an awwww from me! They are adorable for sure AND they will eat each and every dandelion that pops up from now on! The baby chuckers are posing for you, like the one on your deck next to the grill, it knows its cute and its doing it on purpose. I say it because I don’t know if the baby chucks are he or she. Now we have to name them! lol

If I could tell them apart, I might. But right now it’s just baby chucker 1,2,3, 4.

Good choice of naming system.
I use the same system for naming the grandchildren. G1 to G6.

Simple but effective, that.
And still better than George Foreman’s system.

I must confess, I am unfamiliar with George Foreman’s work in this field of nomenclature. Does it involve vertical grills?

No grilling involved….
But he named all 5 of his sons George Edward Foreman. When asked why, he replied, “So they would always have something in common.”

Rodents at my house? Get removed. I have small children and cannot risk bites. I had, I think, a skunk living under my brick/door/wood pile for a bit. He’s been effectively removed. I hope those little buggers don’t eat all your plants.

But they’re cute rodents…. and amazingly, they haven’t touched a single flower. They happily munch grass, weeds and dandelions and then come in to nosh on the deer food and apples in the evening. I am so enjoying watching the little guys scamper around… omg, they’re a hoot. Of course we have 2 fox that come to feed as well so there’s no telling how that will turn out.

They are very cute. I am glad they are in your yard, though. I hate to think what they might do to my wife’s veggie garden.

I was reticent at first. Last year I fought an unending battle with a woodchuck over my flower beds. He won, hands down. But so far these little guys haven’t bothered a single thing except weeds and grass which they’re welcome to.

We had to fence off the veggies after the bunnies started nibbling on (i.e. eating to the ground) the beans.

These are such cute pictures! We moved into a house when I was a kid that had an enormous woodchuck living in a hill in the yard. It took a few sightings before we knew what it was. Always excited us when we spotted it on the hill. But never babies!
