Best Day of the Year (for rodent lovers, that is)

[*emmanuelle]

Happy Groundhog Day everyone!!

May your day be filled with many groundhogs, marmots, woodchucks and whistlepigs.

Lots of love from your resident animal enthusiast,
Emmanuelle

I might be imagining this but...
I remember reading an artice years ago about how this silly groundhog thing actually has some scientific basis. Something about how in winter usually overcast days are milder. On an overcast day the groundhog doesn't see their shadow. Then it went on to say something about how on average weather patterns follow 6 week cycles and thus if it is overcast/mild on Feb.2, then in 6 weeks you'll be into another mild cycle and spring is just around the corner.
So not only can they predict the weather but they're darn tasty.

Manitoba Merv did not see his shadow so SPRING, here we come!

On a side note, how badly do you want to take those dainty little T-Rex paws between your thumb and forefinger and make him dance a little groundhog jig? Back me up here, gang.

The Metrotown groundhog did not see his shadow this morning, so Spring is just around the corner.

Gee, that's what Hubba says all the time too.

...don't even ask what InTheBum does with his pet gerbil....actually, I guess his name kinda gave it away.

Actually that sucker looks like ITB just got done with him.

True, he looks a little numb.

The best I can give you is the dancing gopher from Caddyshack, who taught me all the dance moves I know, by the way
