Signs of spring

Great Pyrenees
The woodchuck who lives in my back yard is out of hibernation and looking for food. He or she is eating things off the ground, maybe maple seeds that didn't take root last fall. I am so tempted to put out some apples or carrots for him, and I have to keep sternly reminding myself that it is bad to feed wild animals and let them think that humans are a source of food. 

He is so cute with his cinnamon-colored fur! 

Must...not...feed...cute...furry....animal......

This conjured up a completely different mental image for me.

"Humans are a source of food Nom nom nom!"

I don't think that woodchucks are in the "Either you have lunch or you are lunch" class.

Not like, say, pet cats.

You are right, must not feed the cute furry animal, or next thing you know he will be knocking on the door looking for handouts. Our woodchuck keeps at the garbage pails and we keep scaring him off, to no avail.
