Groundhog?

What is this nasty large rodent sunning him/herself on my deck? A groundhog? 

Horse race

Lily will be taking part in a fun run on Saturday morning for little girls, with her friend Alayna. 

We were talking about it yesterday, but I mustn't have explained it very well, because she just asked me if it will be a horse race. She said she was worried if it would be a horse race because she doesn't know how to ride horses. 

I assured her that it would be just little girls running and she said phew! 

Mystery solved
