Happy Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is one of the silliest "special" days I can think of. While commemorates the middle of winter, which is reasonable, the idea of using a groundhog to predict the weather is quite absurd. I can, however, imagine a video scene using a search for an escaped (or replacement) groundhog, if only it was for, say, the middle day of summer. Duncan will imagine the search being done by a bus load of cheerleaders.

Punxsutawney Phil has spoken. Early Spring!
Yea I know, he's only accurate 40% of the time but for an overfed Hamster, is that really that bad?

Something weird about that statistic. If it is to be interpreted literally, my cat (if I had a cat) could be accurate 60 percent of the time by just being contrary. And cats are good at being contrary.

I've never had a cat myself, but lots of my friends have cats and yes, can totally agree with you there. I did have a House Bunny for almost 8 years that was pretty much a cat that ate hay.

Cats and rabbits have at least one thing in common. Neither can swim backstroke.

Cartoon rabbits and cats do not count. Besides, Bugs is a bunny, not a rabbit.

I have a House Bunny! ..Of course, my wife probably wouldn't appreciate me referring to her that way...
But she can definitely backstroke!

I've seen Ground Hogs groom themselves same as a Cat or Rabbit. I'm sure they can swim if they absolutely have to I doubt they enjoy baths.
In the 8 years I had the little fuzzball I only tried bathing her once......while the bite wounds and claw marks were healing I did some research and found out Bunnies don't need baths.
