Mable (who may no longer be with us) is going to be a grandma: https://pbase.com/britestar/missouri_mabel_and_her_brood
This daughter now lives down by the stream at the western edge of our property.
We occasionally see her. However, a different Mable daughter has taken over their "childhood home" in our backyard. The two adult sisters will now squabble whenever they get too close to each other. That tends to keep this one usually in a distance. So, I don't know if this groundhog will bring her pups (that she is obviously now expecting) around. She occasionally comes close, but then, her more dominant sister chases her off.
Groundhogs are so cute when they're babies.
It would be fun to watch Mable's grandpups grow up like I did her pups back in 2020.
But I won't count on it.
