A town in New jersey here is unable t celebrate ground hogs day with a live groundhog , because their star groundhog Mel passed away 5 years ago.
They imported a new Mel from Tennesee, but he was taken away by animal services , because they failed to fill the paperwork out for importing wild animals.
They can’t seem to meet the requirements for keeping groundhogs, so it is going to be yet another groundhogless year.
I have one living in the creek bed in the woods behind my house they can look for his shadow if it makes them happy.
When they finally get permission to keep ground hogs, my suggestion is they ought to import and Mr, and Mrs, groundhog , so they never run out again and have to go through this .
