The TC Groundhog

What a hoot! It seems we have a new guest at the TC. Actually, I think its a long term guest that we just found out about.

Most of you who have visited the Trans Canada lately know that we have been doing some renovations - fixing up the restaurant and refurbishing some of the rooms. The excess building materials have been collecting all winter in the vacant lot next door, beside the garage.

Its spring - and with it comes spring cleanup! We called the folks at B&M to send us a disposal bin. As we're cleaning up the junk in the side yard, we look over and who do we see watching us - its the groundhog from caddyshack! He's huge, friendly and not at all scared. He's made himself right at home under the sheds and behind the garage. Seems the neighbor knows him well and has been watching his progress.

Tina's been busy cleaning up that area. Saturday afternoon she walks around the corner of the shed. EEEeeeeeeek ... seems she startled the poor little guy. He let out a shriek just like the groundhog on Caddyshack and waddled off into his hole, peeking out again to give her what for.

We know we've got to find him a good home - but he's determined that he's found his home already. Stay tuned for Tina's adventures with the little guy. He's become the talk of the coffee crowd.
