Lately, some sort of animal has been coming around at night and digging up the turf underneath our big maple tree. The boys down at the pub, without ever seeing the evidence, thought it might be a wild boar.

Today while Mimmo was here working in the yard, Jonathan asked him about it. Mimmo said it could be a badger or even a baby deer.

"What about a wild boar?" Jonathan asked.

"Oh, no," Mimmo said. "You'll know when it's a boar causing damage, because if it's a boar, you'll be doing this."
