Remember a while ago I posted a picture of the sunflower seeds the chipmunk from Hell had planted in my petunias… and how they were growing?

 

 

Well over the past few weeks they grew tall and budded, and then started disappearing. One by one… shredded, stripped of leaves, and gone.

I’ve seen a few grasshoppers, so I thought maybe that was the reason.

 

 

How pathetic is that?

One lone stalk remained.

Then I woke up this morning and saw….

 

 

A woodchuck…

 

 

 

On the table.

 

 

That’s something I hadn’t seen before.

 

 

First there was a little pole dancing….

 

 

Then he got down to business.

 

 

 

So now I know why there won’t be any blooming sunflowers this season.

 

 

He made short work of it and left me this…

 

 

As well as this…

 

 

Yes, I could have yelled and scared him off, but I admit … I laughed instead.

We’ve had woodchucks all year and they haven’t touched a single plant, shrub or flower. Which if you’ve ever had woodchucks, you know is highly unusual.

So I let the little devil have the sunflower.

The fact that he can even get his fat butt up on the table to begin with is comical and worth the price of a sunflower to view.
