Who Was That Critter?
When I went to feed the horses this morning I was startled and I startled a big fat furry critter sitting on top of one of the garbage cans in which I keep my horse feed/treats.
What was it?
The big, fat, kind of cute but more than annoying groundhog who has decided living under the tack room is just great!! He/she has been fattening up for the long winter hibernation by eating apples fallen from the apple tree, and I guess, my horse treats and maybe even some of my horse food.
The den under the tack room poses no problem as the tack room floor is raised up over a foot from the ground and under it is all open.
The raid on the feed room does pose a problem. If I can't manage to keep the bins closed--don't know how dexterous groundhogs are with their little paws--then I am going to have to take drastic action.
It's really not my style. I am a "live and let live" kind of person. Guess this one might require some heavy duty thinking.
