"A Groundhog!" |
WOOFS! Woof! Happy Groundhog Day! It is the day in which we all wait for Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who lives at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to forecast the weather for the next few weeks! Will we have six more weeks of winter? Or, will warm weather arrive soon? Woofs! Only Phil knows!
Barks, the day celebration originated in the 1700s when the German settlers who came to Pennsylvania brought their seasonal superstitions with them. Legend has it, if Phil sees his shadow, the winter weather will continue. If he doesn't, we can expect warmer weather with an early Spring. Woofs.
Woofs, as a young boy, my human used to look forward to Groundhog Day in hopes that the critter would not see his shadow as he wanted an early Spring. He used to dislike winter with its freezing temperatures!
Groundhog Day is an annual celebration in the United States and Canada with the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania hosting a day of celebration!
