<p dir="auto">Look at those baby groundhogs and see how cute they are. If you dare to say otherwise, you may be getting old and your eyes need examining.
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Groundhog Day is a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if he does not, due to cloudiness, spring season will arrive early.<br />
<sub><span>(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day)
<p dir="auto">Groundhogs are everywhere in North America, we even have a little family making a home under our backyard shack for years. I enjoy watching them in the summer, they mostly eat grass and fallen fruits from apple and pear trees. While mama groundhog is out gathering food, baby groundhogs rarely leave their burrow; they point their heads out from time to time, and promptly return into hiding at the slightest noise or sign of danger. They're fun to watch and very skittish. It's not always easy to photograph them.
<h2>DOGE Giveaway
<p dir="auto">To celebrate the groundhog day, our friend DOGE is back with another giveaway.
<p dir="auto">If you have been following my DOGE saga, the previous giveaways were (hidden?) in those previous posts 😉<br />
<a href="https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@drakos/do-not-underestimate-the-power-of-the-dog-remember-dogecoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Do Not Underestimate The Power Of The Dog. Remember Dogecoin <strong>$150 total<br />
<a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@drakos/2000-followers-milestone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">2000 Followers Milestone <strong>$150 total
<p dir="auto">I'm giving away another <strong>2000 DOGE to the first 10 users who will do the following <strong>three simple things. Read them carefully, I will not run after you to tell you if you missed any of the conditions. The prize will go to the next person who does; too bad for you. Commenting with <em>"Nice Post, I love DOGE. Here's my Dogecoin address. Gimme!" will not qualify.
<ul>
<li>Upvote and resteem this post.
<li>Write a <strong>meaningful comment why you think dogs or groundhogs are cool. You can also share a personal story or photos about them.
<li>Include your Dogecoin address in the comment
<p dir="auto"><center><h4><em>Tha dawg is trading around $0.005 today<br />
<br /><br />
That's a cool 10 x $10 = $100 giveaway.
<p dir="auto">If you don't have a Dogecoin wallet, I recommend you try <a href="http://multidoge.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">MultiDoge<span>. And please use a valid Dogecoin address, I won't re-send your prize if you provide a wrong address. You can validate it at <a href="http://dogetools.net/validate.php" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">http://dogetools.net/validate.php.
<p dir="auto">What can you do with 2000 Dogecoins? Well, you can sell them, exchange them or hold them. I prefer the latter, because the cryptomarket has been bleeding lately and Dogecoin is at a low, like every altcoin. In my opinion it will go up again. After all, the Year of the Dog (Chinese zodiac) starts in two weeks.

FD.
You have been victim of a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else sent money to buy votes from an irresponsible non-GrupyCompliant service.
@sneaky-ninja is acting irresponsibly by selling votes to people on their post in the last hours before payout. = 99.99% abuse rate.
Sending money to @sneaky-ninja is also financially supporting for-profit spammers.

What's your deal? I made the @sneaky-ninja bid on day 1 of this post.
you are right, marmots are very nice, nature really always gives us the opportunity to enjoy these little details! How lucky you can see them from close!
Dogs are cool because they get excited to see you even if you've only been away for a few minutes. I'm guessing it didn't take long for the first humans to start adopting them.

And our last giveaway. Sent 🐶
Got it. Thanks! That's really generous. 12 more days until the Year of the Doge! :)
I don't know what a groundhog is so i guess i'll have to try to tell you why i think dogs are cool, damn but i am a cats person.
Until i entered steemit and met Cheetah and Lince ... Ever since i am less of a cats person, but well now i remeber i used to care for a red cat waiting for adoption and it was as aggressive as those two are here.
But wait i disgress... I am supposed to tell you why dogs are cool... hell, well now i just remembered that during the december Coins frenzy i did buy some DOGE at about 50 Satos and sold em for 55 i did that several times at different prices and got some nice return that later on upon reading XVG was DOGE on steriods i did dump the DOGE i had and used it to buy verge, but then came the FUD, after that the FOMO, now the BTC bleed...
So after having a good time with the DOGE now i am a HOBO which reminded me of that series from the 70's the llittlest HOBO
But most people in here is probably too young to remember it, unless you come from a country where tv is still in black and white in which case, since this series was in color you also missed it.
But wait don't complain, because it is not the same as if your TV set was a B/W model and your country had actual color TV for the last ten years, in which case you probably saw the DOGE like this:
Here is my wallet:
D7bd24TVdsc9F5EomPW28md3gGXdsKvfbz
(Do you realize when one says that, it sounds like a robbery but it is like an inverse one)
If you send DOGE i will use it to help fund our current Shine the Diamond projects and it will go to buy brass instruments for a musicians school.
But i would prefer if you resteemed my latest witness update where i tell all about it which has been seen by a total of 55 people (5 of them is actually myself adding views to it from my projects accounts)

You will make a struggling musician happy! (Photo non contractual, that's actually my second de cuisine)
Hell man i had forgotten i had a lot of doge lol... Many more brass instruments

I love dog. They are very loyal. I've got this experience first hand.
My dad used to own several dogs, I love playing with them. Once, my dad gave one to my uncle to help "secure" his shop. Then years gone by. When I visited my uncle I noticed a skinny dog keep looking at me from behind the fence wagging it's tail. My lovely dog had become too skinny for me to recognize but it still recognized me. Loyalty and love at it's peak! End of story, of course, I asked my uncle to take care of it better.

Wow! Thank you.
Dogs are cool because they just know how to be happy with simple pleasures. Water, snow, tennis balls, bones, the beach, digging holes, and of course, trees. They're so easy to please and they just want to be like us. They're not picky about food. They comfort us when we're down. And they write stories that start with, "It was a dark and stormy night."
I hope you enjoyed this comment.

Thank you, sir.
Well, I would say that the fact that Dogecoin got to 1 Billion market cap is pretty outstanding in my opinion, especially if you take into account that it's a so called parody coin. Getting there without it's creator actually trying says a lot about the coin itself if you ask me :)
I love dogs, I used to have a golden retriever names Dona, she was really sweet, one day she got lost and we didn't know for weeks what happened to her, after about a month she found her way home. That dog surprised us all when she started scratching the main entrance door :)

Done and done, sorry, I got distracted :)
I personally not a big fan of dog or any kind pets. But one day, my mom adopt the cute pug to our family. She looks really ugly from her face but very cute manner that I can not resist. She loved to be around while I was working. Sat nearby and walked around. But my happiness moment with my "Taro" her name of my cute pug was so short. 6 months later she left us with heartbeat condition after 3 days of medical treatment.
From her past away, I have learned that any kind of dog or pet is a true best friend than human being (this is my personal point of view).
Thanks for give away and reminds me my true best friend dog.

Here is a favorite quote of mine from the Movie "Groundhog Day"
“This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You’re hypocrites, all of you!”
I must have watched this movie 100 times.
