That Mabeline the Groundhog suddenly enlarged: https://pbase.com/britestar/image/175404901

We now have five 4th Generation Groundhog pups descended from Mable
who surprisingly arrived on the scene with babies back in 2020: https://pbase.com/britestar/image/170715270

Today was the first day Mabeline brought her new babies out to take a look at the world. The pups didn't come out any farther than in the above photo. At first, I just saw two babies. A couple of hours later, a brave third one joined them peeking out of the hole. I was sure that was the entire litter until a shy 4th head emerged. That shocked me!!! Another hour passed and the slyest 5th one finally made a 10 second appearance.
