Ruby on Duty

I walked into the dining room a little while ago to find Ruby in one of her favorite spots, staring into the back yard with her back feet on the church pew that sits underneath the window and her elbows on the windowsill.

She was watching out for the groundhogs that hang out in the shade garden and under the pavilion. 

Groundhogs are cute, but they are also incredibly destructive. These little guys' digging can eventually destroy the footings of the pavilion ... so they have to go. I have borrowed a humane trap to use to catch them, and there's a place down the road that is the perfect spot to let them go once I trap them.

I'm feeling a bit like Billy the Exterminator right now ... I love that show!
