Hunting for Groundhogs

Yes, at this point, any groundhog will do as I think they are all related, or a least a conspiracy is brewing. I am TOTALLY done with winter. I want spring! Now would be a good time. If we have six more weeks of this, I will be needing someone to check me into the local funny farm (knowing my friends, there will be plenty of volunteers as well as a few possible roommates). On a lighter note, I finally saddled Cal last week, after a year off with white line, and he was a total gentleman with a rider, but with empty saddle in the round pen, he wanted it off. He tried to roll it off (I actually apologized to Bella on Sunday for the sand ground into the pad and saddle as we rode off). Cal has forgotten our lunging techniques completely, so back to square one. He's such a pocket pony anyway. I think he enjoyed his "retirement" a little too much! If I had the money, I'd send him to Westwinds for retraining as I am getting to old for this, or is it lazy?
