I think it's a muskrat ....

See that thing there, in the middle of the pic, with a bunch of grass in its mouth:



I don't think he even noticed me standing on the bank. He just swam right by. (You can click on the pic for a supa-dupa closeup.)

And the fact that this little dude happily exists in his watery, wild home a couple hundred yards from my house? Blows my mind. We're neighbors!

I can't believe I'm here.

We saw one in a local park in a duck pond last month. So cute.

It's like Wild Kingdom at your house! Do you get woodchucks/groundhogs there too? I miss those little guys.

The Runt was chasing a woodchuck across the backyard the other night. And I've got molehills like crazy - I hope the cats take care of that little problem.
