Big momma woodchuck is out of hibernation and stuffing her face at a rapid pace.
.
.
I’d thrown out bread for the birds earlier that morning but when I saw her arrive and start munching, I quickly gave her lettuce instead.

.
You know, the head of iceberg lettuce my husband brought home from the store after I specifically wrote “green leaf, red leaf, Boston or romaine…. anything but iceberg!” on the grocery list.
.
.
Even as hungry as momma chuck was….

She left most of the tasteless crunchy white parts.

River's world..... 
I have discovered my woodchuck has now burrowed under the front corner of my garage. Effing thing.

Ours are under the barn, no foundation so it doesn’t matter. Also the woodshed, no foundation. They do like to dig.

and undermine the ground under the walls.
My perfect garage floor now is cracked in at LEAST 4 places.

They’ve been there for years with one access hole. The frost heaves do more damage.

Woodchucks can be captured in a live trap with a 10×12 inch access door. After capturing, it can be relocated or euthanized.
Landowners are not required to have a hunting or trapping license to shoot or trap woodchucks on their own property.

I dig your MOTHER CHUCKER title as a deliberate(?) play on words, but I’m not sure Mother Chucker herself would appreciate it. Let’s hope she doesn’t know how to read (or doesn’t see your post, if she does read).

To be honest, it was unintentional. I refer to her as Momma Chuck around the house… that was just a more formal version.

Poor little thing – thanks for feeding her. My husband would bring home the right lettuce but the oldest and most wilted head.

Would you have come home with iceberg lettuce? If so, bad rap deserved…

Not if it wasn’t on the lust. However, I make a mean Iceburg salad. Summer is when Iceberg cools everything down.

It was specifically prohibited, but he came home with it anyway. Iceberg has no redeeming qualities. Blech.

Each to their own, Rg. If Iceberg was that bad it wouldn’t be sold in stores

Disagree. They sale kale in stores as well and it’s horrible.

Ha! I have a woodchuck friend ~he enjoyed being under my house a bit, but found rocks in my little bluff even better, thank goodness. Chuck, the woodchuck, has been a great visitor during my Covid recovery. Just like Groundhog Day, he appears over and over the same way daily. You have a smart one for NOT eating the whites of iceberg. Lol I always buy anything BUT iceberg too.

The chucks love salad scraps, but not celery. And apples. They fight over those…

Iceberg is about as much lettuce as a Red Delicious is an apple. Both are affronts to their respective foods.

At least the red delicious is red. Iceberg is barely green…
