It's just another example of "The Man" trying to hold a dude down...

I think it is official according to the US Patent Office, he can no longer use Groundhogs as a crutch or cover, or as a cover for a crutch.
Pediapet Patent 6165035
This invention relates to the production of a decorative covering, also referred to from here on out as a Pediapet, that will be used to cover or partly cover medical equipment in such a way that the equipment will appear less threatening to patients. In particular, this invention relates to the production of decorative covers in the shape of animals and other familiar objects that will be used to cover medical equipment such as stethoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, IV poles, crutches, blood pressure cuffs, syringes etc. and will help make the instrument or part of the instrument appear as though it is part of that animal or object.
Most any object can become a Pediapet as long as it has the overall exterior configuration of the medical apparatus. For example, it would be difficult to incorporate a ground hog onto a crutch. The physical structure of the crutch is such that it requires a long, relatively thin Pediapet, such as the flamingo or a monument. Conversely, the wheelchair would lend itself to the Lincoln monument, but would not make an especially good bird. Items of clothing can also be incorporated into the Pediapet design, such as the tie described hereinafter.
