On the left is the long dapple dachshund body is River. Pippin the tabby kitten has his head resting on hers, and his front paws stretched out down her body. River is snoring rather loudly, but Pippin seems unbothered.

@nora always return your library books, even if late, even if they've billed you. We just want the book back and have leeway in waiving fines.

I was reminded this morning of this real life story that happened a little over 6 years ago. I was living in Connecticut at the time. Hubby picked me up from work. On the drive home, we had to go down a residential street, with a park on the left and houses on the right. As we're on the street, I see a small critter, it looks like a tiny puppy, in the middle of the street.

I told hubby to stop. As he's rolling to a stop, images of introducing this little brown puppy to our house are playing though my head. I throw open the door, and hop out, seat belt falling from my arm as the car rolls to a stop.

As I start to approach the puppy, something trips in my brain. It's got course fur. Like really course. It's beady black eyes turn towards me. This is no puppy. I pause. We stare at each other for a second, maybe two. Then it charges at me.

I run back to the car, hop in so fast that I bruise my arm on the door frame. GOOO!! I yell at hubby. The door isn't even closed and I yell again "IT'S AFTER ME!!!" He finally starts to go, saying he's probably gonna hit it. He doesn't.

What was it? I had never seen such a critter before. It had course brown fur, beady black eyes. I get on my phone and frantically search for common wild animals in Connecticut that fit this description. It wasn't a squirrel, not a beaver. Groundhog!! It was a fucking juvenile groundhog!!

And that my friends is my groundhog story. I still live in fear of them.

#introduction
New instance new intro!!

I'm somcak, a #librarian currently in #Ohio. I have 2 mini #dachshunds and 2 #cats. I enjoy all sorts of music, yes, even death metal on occasion!

I've been on Mastodon since October 2022, and this is my 5th server.

I use content warnings for all sorts of stuff, just trying to be considerate! I always make sure there's #AltText and #CamelCase for my own posts as well as those I boost. #Accessibility matters.
I enjoy learning about #history and #archeology, particularly the #neolithic. I'm also interested in #UrbanPlanning and how we can make communities greener. I have an #ebike and care about #CompleteStreets.
