We'll see how this works out. I hope the porch doesn't suffer any structural damage from a groundhog tunnel underneath. A few bricks from the brick edging have mysteriously fallen off. Maybe this guy is to blame; maybe he isn't. Either way, it is now pretty certain that one of Mabel's pups has made this his home. We've had groundhogs for almost 20 years & have never have had a problem. Hopefully, the balance between the groundhog's home and our human home continues to remain problem free.
