As we continue our drive back home...

These little guys are my new friends, prairie dogs are everywhere out west.....I love them! They are funny characters. So, there I am trying to get a pic and am told they are not so cute.... it was obvious they were overpopulated and making some pretty big holes. Apparently they damage the farmers fields and livestock trip over the holes....and ummm.....they are said to carry the plague and have become a huge concern. This I did not know as I was walking around the holes to get a good photo. I have to say that even with the bad news, I still love prairie dogs, they made me laugh every time I saw them doing their prairie dog things. I'm grateful I did not get bitten by one of them or even by one of their fleas though! If I had, I don't think I'd be feelin' the love!
