Furry Friends

Check out this little guy.  He's a marmot, and we've got them all over our neighborhood!  When we first moved in and saw one nesting in some rocks in our front yard, I thought it was a beaver.  Through talking with some ladies from work and Google searching I realized that it was no beaver, but a marmot. 

Notice how FAT he is?  That's because him and all of his other fat furry friends come in my yard and eat my flowers, weeds, tomato plants, and pretty much anything else that's green and near the ground.

Shawn's tried sprinkling a whole border of mole/pest repellent around our house, but it doesn't seem to bother them.  I may have to invest in a BB gun!
