My backyard groundhog Norm also put in an appearance yesterday! I didn’t get a photo - he’s a little camera shy and ran under the fence as soon as i got my phone.
Yeah I was doing some catch-up reading...

He wasn’t mine, but a horse who I rode for many years and whose retirement I later supported financially had to be euthanized last weekend. He had a twisted gut (intestines displaced) and there really wasn’t anything that could be done for him.
I am grateful that I knew him, and also grateful to be able to have given him his last couple years of grazing peacefully in a pasture.

Our dogs can go in and out, free at will through their dog door in the wall. Both are Arubian Cunucus that we rescued off that Caribbean island, meaning they are the general descendants of Iberian Hounds brought over from Spain in the 1600s that bred with the native Arawak Indian dogs, which were then trained to hunt lizards (as food) on the island. So, they're not so much of a specific "breed" as a typified "island dog". Gizmo is a little atypical and marches to his own beat. He has much longer fur than most, a bit of a shorter snout, has unique markings, loves the cold and snow, and is the funniest of characters that you could ever meet.
Our other Cunucu, with all of the classic features, bonded with my wife. Gizmo latched onto me, both as puppies we adopted. For some strange reason, Gizmo has never minded rain, which is all but absent in Aruba. In fact, we've woken up in the middle of the night wondering where he was only to find him sleeping smack dab in the middle of the yard during a downpour. This evening was yet another example of his love for rain. (You can't see it in this pic, but it was dumping!) Meanwhile, our other Cunucu will hold her pee indefinitely, so long as she doesn't have to step out in the rain. Funny how they are!

Pippi used to not mind the rain, acted like it wasn't there. Pepper on the other hand won't even step past the door sill but then she was abandoned in the rain so that probably plays too.

Inadvertently hit a squirrel on the way home so made Ozzie's day. High pressure cooked it for safeties sake and Ozzie gets the carcass.
