We walked over to some baseball fields by my house. When we got there, there were 3 groundhogs roaming the field. Two of them fled before Bauer even noticed them. But this guy remained stubbornly in the middle of the field. Now, to be honest, I enjoy watching Bauer chase after animals but only because I know he’s too slow to ever catch any of them. So I kind of directed Bauer towards this little guy. I immediately regretted it once I noticed that when Bauer finally saw him, he didn’t run away like the other two did. Then when we got closer I realized why. He was a mangled, old, injured little groundhog. I felt terrible that Bauer was terrorizing the poor little guy, but was also impressed by his scrappiness – lots of flailing arms and clicking teeth and hissing at Bauer. Bauer was so curious he wouldn’t leave the poor thing alone. So I had to leash him up, which ended Bauer’s reign of terror for the day.
