And I'm definitely amazed now at how mellow my parents were about the whole episode! By this point they'd raised three other children to adulthood, though, so I suppose they figured "Meh, it'll all work out."Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223441754197927551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604990465653925540.post-90523440068291180352013-02-06T04:47:56.630-05:002013-02-06T04:47:56.630-05:00I love this story!

When I was a kid, I once wandered several blocks after a young cat, which luckily stopped near the house of a family friend who alerted my parents (or possibly just took me back home -- I don't quite recall). If I could've, I TOTALLY would've picked up any small animal that crossed my path.

I would pick up anything as a kid, frogs, toads, snakes, birds, cats and dogs. Luckily my mother was very understanding. If I weren't allergic to just about everything with fur, I'd probably have some fuzzy creature around to pick up and carry around.bethhttp://bdoylephotos.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604990465653925540.post-83573007992785804572013-02-02T14:03:24.580-05:002013-02-02T14:03:24.580-05:00Ah.

Who knows maybe somebody's spirit (grand pa) had inhabited that groundhog's body so he could spend some time with you since he never really had the opportunity to before he died.
