Can you see him?
How about now?
Here's a hint
Apparently, all roads lead to Prairie Dog Town!
And they even have their own State Park.
The first pics were taken in our favorite town - Ennis, MT - right next to the post office. This empty lot had several prairie dogs popping up. But, they got kinda shy when Mom pulled out the ole camera and tried to take their pictures.
When we got on the road headed to the next place, we saw all these signs for Prairie Dog Town. Lucky dogs! They have a town all their own AND a State Park! Bet they don't have to wear leashes!
Just saying . . .
But, we didn't have to stop in Prairie Dog Town to see tons of prairie dogs. Mom spent like the next
Can you tell Mom is a little insane over the Prairie Dog? Guess she likes any kind of dog :) If you love Prairie dogs and you're interested in reading the HSUS article on Prairie Dogs, click here.

Praire dogs are soooooo cute but man are there fast!! :)
Holy Gwalk A Moley... somebuddy taught all those little guys to sit up and BEG???? I wonder what kind of treats they used fur that?
Gosh they are CUTE. I can see why your mom likes them so much.
I sniffed out that Prairie Dog in the furst one! I think I sniffed him out rite quickly coz they duss look a lot like skwerrells. Mebbe they be skwerrells disguised as Prairie Dogs so they could get their own town and park and stuffs. Your mom mite has blowned their cover with all those pikshures.
ooooo there is lots of dem critters!!

My mom just LUVS prairie dogs, too. She read this article not too long ago abouts how prairie dogs have their own complicated language that they teach to baby prairie dogs. She found it Most Fascinating and I bet your mom would like it, too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8493000/8493089.stm
Me - I just think they'd be fun to chase!

Nubbin wiggles,

Wow, they are cute. I don't think I have ever seen one before. Are they rodents or dogs?
Your pal, Pip
I am not kidding....as soon as I read the words "prairie dogs" I called my fiance' into the computer room and read every single word of your post to him and he was almost as impressed as I was that you saw soooo many prairie dogs at once! My fiance' lived out west for a number of years and he's one of those "I've been there, done that" kind of guys but I was over the moon about these dogs! I've been to zoos in New England where there's a prairie dog area and I cannot get over how darn cute they are! I wonder if I should just adopt one already or is that not allowed???? Is your mom going to adopt one and walk it all around town? heeeeheeee!
Thank you soooo much for sharing this post! I think you and your humans are super lucky to see prairie dogs, etc, on your road trip!

We like those cute little prairie doggys

Oh, nice. Do you know we've never, ever seen a prairie dog in a natural setting. Well, Franklin and I have never seen one at all. The humans have seen them in a zoo is all. It's pretty nice that you got pictures of actual, free range prairie doggies.
lotsa licks, Lola
I wonder what it would be like to be able to run after one of those guys! That place looks like it would be a lot of fun to visit!

I love the wild prairie dogs; I've only ever seen them at the zoo. I think they're ok off-leash walking.
What funny looking dogs?! :)
That's a lot of Prairie Dogs! More like Prairie Dog Metropolis!
