Digger our pet gopher
Yes, that’s what I said. And it is true. This is one of God’s creatures whom we feed daily. Loves corn and peanuts with a passion. This, I might add, used to be my garden, and it was beautiful. Roses, tulips, and many other plants until one day we noticed they were being pulled undergound by something. Now, to be honest, my wife Kitty and I loved this garden. I knew what it was. Then when all the plants were gone, we made it into a feeding station for birds and squirrels for research for some future paintings. Then one day, we looked outside and saw this stupid looking rodent eating sun flower seeds meant for the birds. “WELL” I said, “this is an unusual opportunity. Let’s see if we can train it to feed out of our hands.” and, as you can see, we were able to get it to eat out of our hands within two weeks. Spoiled, yes, it was very spoiled. Each morning, up he came waiting to be fed and getting very fat as each new day passes, even in the winter. We have the habit of spoiling any animal that will let us, and we love it. Should we kill it? Absolutely not. As I stated in the beginning,” he is one of God’s creatures. Doesn’t bother anyone.” Of course, Diggers tunnels were a bother when we would step on them, but who cares. We may be idiots, but we love all things on earth. Who knows in the future you may see him in a print on our site
