You and Whistle Pig, One and the Same?

Dear Henry, 

For about a year we've had visitors living under our deck.  Hell, our yard is practically a wildlife sanctuary.  The moles have moved but we have chipmunks, a colony of squirrels, raccoons, ospreys, all kinds of other birds, skunk, deer, whistle pigs (ground hogs) and possum.  Part of it is our neighborhood's mature trees and the other part is our massive amount of acorns from the three large pin oaks in the side yard.  So our deck has supported two whistle pigs, and when they moved out temporarily three raccoons moved in, now the last 4 months the whistle pigs are back.  I think there are two.
One is getting pretty bold and comfortable and tools around our yard.  Today Mommy found some similarities between the two of you, you both go where you don't belong and you both get a guilty look on your faces when you're caught.




Love, Mommy
