Maybe he's friends with Peter Rabbit

Alyssa Boehm photographs Hoggy the Groundhog, who thinks her backyard garden is a take-out joint:
He's kind of cute, but he's also a bit destructive. I opted not to plant any tomatoes this year (one if his favorites to take a single bite from) and focus on my peppers. Undaunted, he's been burrowing around in my veggie patch.
And I think he's been snacking on my hostas. ...
In more positive animal news, Alyssa also photographs cute little baby duckies at the Public Garden (and here are some cute little baby goslings in the Fenway).

Why does everybody name their groundhogs?
I find it very amusing. In our backyard we had "Wilfred Brimley" living in our shed for a while. Friends of ours had "Jens", named after the Dutch brother/brother in law that said groundhog resembled.
This year we have a new one wandering the neighbor's back yard and driving up their boxer dog's blood pressure. I'd lay odds that it has a name already.
Mystery burrower
What I want to know is what's been burrowing in the planter on my porch this past week? I've done container gardening for years, never had a problem, but Something has dug a tunnel in the front right corner of my rose planter three times now. Same spot each time, about 2" in diameter. The planter is a 15" plastic cube on a concrete stoop. I'm genuinely mystified.
