at one of my previous houses--- seemed to be part of his daily route---
Seemed to live under my back porch, and I'd see it go out on its rounds...

( I didn't have any garden at that house, so it was only a curiosity--
but also one of the longest ground-hogs I have ever seen...
wasn't even quite sure what it was, at the time...)

Yeah, disposing of them... I suppose I'll bury them between rows in the garden,
or near where I intend to start a peach tree
