Her Heart's Desire

"Oh please" begs Socks, "I KNOW what I want!  You can give it to me! I'm a deserving dog, I am!"

 "It's what I really really really really want!  Just open this gate, please?  

I can't stand it! It smells SO good!

Oh, please, please, PLEASE give it to me - isn't it my birthday or something?"

"Just try it" growls the grumpy groundhog.

Hide-and-seek, Part 1

Time to play hide-and-seek!

I see someone hiding up the Mulberry tree. Does he think I can't see him?
Yes! He thinks he has found the perfect hiding place.
Who would think of looking for Groundhog up in a tree?
