boris

this is Boris. he's a muskrat (or is he a groundhog? - you be the judge). his name is taken from the Melvins song of the same name. i'm pretty sure he's the one who has been eating our tomatoes all summer, judging by the guilty look on his face (and the half-eaten green tomatoes he was nibbling on just before i shot this picture a few weeks back). he's rather overweight and furry and sort of reminds me of a rodent version of Smokey. i haven't seen him around since this pic was taken, so i hope he's doing well - wherever he is.

That's no muskrat! It's a groundhog! Eat it!

Whatever he is, he's pretty damn cute. I bet it's hard to be mad at him for stealing your tomatoes...And then again, maybe it's not.

It is pretty hard to be mad at him, Churlita. I mean, muskrats/groundhogs need to eat too. And we had more than enough tomatoes to go around. I wish him nothing but the best.
