I looked at my woebegone husband one day and called him a "wug". He asked me "What is a wug?" I replied, not so cleverly, "You're a wug!" Some time later we drove by a ground hog, aka "BLM," by the side of the road, and Wug, er, Husband asked me, somewhat accusingly, "Is that a wug!?" I had to admit that a ground hog is a wug. Since then we have discovered many wugs... and I am startled to realize that BLMs are wugs. Thank you for publishing this most illuminating blog. A BLM is what we call a “Wug”.

I wanted to travel over the mountain on the old Howardsville Turnpike and we eventually ended up at Wintergreen. We saw a few BLM's waddling about the resort and actually saw one resting in its hole. I looked in and and told my daughter to look too. I wish we had a camera so we could have posted that cute little (dirty) face looking up at us. The BLM's home looked a little like this one except among large snow making equipment instead of tombstones. Maybe they slide around on the ice in the winter (after the humans leave)?

Exciting beaver behavior! by Charlotte http://beaverlikemammals.com/2007/05/19/dandy-sighting-exciting-beaver-behavior/#comment-4 Charlotte Wed, 20 Jun 2007 19:30:56 +0000 http://beaverlikemammals.com/2007/05/19/dandy-sighting-exciting-beaver-behavior/#comment-4 Wow it's like a big fat guinea pig! I am jealous that you can see these types of things from your porch. In London we only have squirrels and rats and the mice in the underground. Do any of those count? On Thursday I sighted a dead rat, in my flat, from my cat. Wow it’s like a big fat guinea pig! I am jealous that you can see these types of things from your porch.
