Daughter of "Missouri Maude"
Granddaughter of "Missouri Mable"

********************
Being the third generation who sunbathes on our front porch and comes up to the back deck, she obviously doesn't mind being close to me. The only "habituating" that I'm guilty of doing with this wild critter (and her other family members) has been to photograph them. I can often fill the frame with closeups of them like this. They don't see me (or our dogs) as a threat.

I think she's a very pretty groundhog.
