From 2014 to 2020, Ground Dog Day was held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. On this day a dog named Shipoke Sheena (real name Bubble) dressed as a bear that pretended to be a groundhog and predicted the weather by consulting with a NASA meteorologist. Shipoke Sheena did not provide a prediction in 2021 due to the global pandemic, and, in late 2021, it was announced that she would be retiring due to a health condition. On October 7th, 2022 Shipoke Sheena sadly passed away due to complications from congestive heart failure. Read more about Shipoke Sheena.
