So all this talk of woodchucks reminds me of the tongue twister I learned as a kid!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
And chuck as much as a woodchuck would
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I'd love to see some wild creatures sneaking into my backyard, yet I've never seen anyone bigger than a hedgehog (and even hedgehogs are getting very rare).

Of course, it probably looks less idyllic when said creatures start interfering with your interests (I know some people, who are struggling with moles)... but looking at this picture still gives me a cozy feeling.
Surprisingly, we see a number of furry creatures in our yard!

At least one a year we see opossums. Now I don't know too many Americans who correctly call them Opossums, instead they refer to them as Possums and those are siblings; however, they are not found in the US. We had one who decided to nest in one of our garbage cans and had her litter right in the can! When we called animal control about it they said that they would kill them! We didn't like that idea too much so we let her be. Sadly, I think the cat across the street too care of the little ones I have a photo of her in the trash can somewhere around the house. If I can remember where the girls put it I'll scan it in and upload it. Those things are pretty scary at night time when you go outside and they hiss at you!!

Our cats cornered a very little wild bunny one summer. That one we did trap to save it from being hurt by the cats and animal control said they would take it and not destroy it. So we gave it to them.

We had a deer come running, and I mean running, through the neighborhood one morning. Thankfully it didn't do any damage to anything or itself.

We also tend to get a number of mice and rats, not alive mind you, they come in the form of presents from our cats. They leave their treasures for us all over the driveway and yard. They thankfully stopped bringing them in the house! One time my daughter woke up to one in her bed... on her pillow. The other daughter had one on her school backpack. Wouldn't that have made a great show and tell? One of the cats brought a bird in the house, still alive! We had feathers ever where!
