Huuuuuuh? 138 YEARS since last offspring? no way groundhogs live that long.

I was just thinking that something was up with that

[@sheilaf1946]

I know right? I thought that's one old groundhog!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Obviously when one Phil dies, they name a new Phil (and probably the same for their mates, Phyllis)…
