Though we have not yet driven on our beautiful new driveway, we are walking on it.
Or rather, we humans are walking on it. Lord Dudley Mountcatten remains skeptical.
.

.
Taking him out for a walk has meant strolling around the house on the grass and then watching him plant himself on the kitchen landing.
.

.
Where he sits and stares.
Until yesterday…
.

.
When he finally decided to investigate.
.

.
Momma chuck was watching from the barn porch…
.

.
As his Royal highness took to the tar.
.

.
Not yet a fan of the new black expanse, His Lordship returned to the backyard and his favorite woodchuck burrow.
.

.
This is a tunnel that runs under our bedroom bay window and I wish I was quicker with the camera because a baby chuck stuck his head out, spotted Dudley and let out a true whistle pig screech.
.

.
As far as kitty entertainment goes, squealing woodchuck beats new driveway any old day.
.
A lovely stroll, well-documented, filled with exploration and drama. You’ve got yourself the making of a documentary! 😉

At this point I’d settle for just having my car back in the garage.

And what would his lordship fo with a woodchuck if he could catch it? His mouth isn’t big enough to get around the chuck’s neck. Maybe he could bite its tail…
I would not bite a weedchuck’s tail!

The important question is what do the chuckers think of the new driveway?

I’ve yet to see them on it. So apparently, not much!

Thank you! I’d describe it as a bit like a cross between a bird and a wheel spinning on a push toy or some such.

I’m glad His Lordship was finally able to muster up the courage.
I’m leaving this note 30 minutes after spotting, and photographing, a woodchuck in our backyard. Guess I’m copying you!

You’ve been warned.
