Meet Bubbles




Meet Bubbles the baby groundhog. Bubbles is an orphan. Her (at least her rehabilitator thinks she's a her) mother was hit by a car and she was picked up by a nice lady and turned over to my friend. I never thought I liked groundhogs. They've burrowed underneath my pump house and created a big mess with their excavations. But this little critter is so friendly and just loves to cuddle. My dogs, as usual, were fascinated by this little thing. I once read that dogs can identify an infant of any species by their smell due to differences in blood chemistry. I don't know if that's true but they're always very gentle with these babies.

  1. Hi Nancy, I've made my first item with bronze wire I got from you, check it out if you're interested: http://inobscuro.com/crafts/winged-lioness-armlet-31/

    It's far from perfect, but given that I never made a bracelet from wire before, I'm satisfied! I think I'll spend this lot pretty soon and be back for more :D

    It's great to see how nice your dogs treat the wild animals, one would presume they could be aggressive towards them, given their hunting instincts. But I guess all babies are curious :D
