Today we went looking for Prairie Dogs. Brandon's June preschool class is at the local rec center, about 3 miles from home. I keep seeing prairie dogs as I take him to and from the center. We stopped on Thursday to see a few, and then Brandon thought we should bring Daddy here. Today we did.
There were lots of prairie dogs in this field! Everywhere you looked you'd see one or two scampering away. There were a lot of little ones as well, so it was probably puppy season. I didn't know prairie dogs barked until today. Probably why they are known as "dogs" when they really look like squirrels with little tails. Noisy little critters! After half an hour or so we were done with being in the direct sun, and we'd seen many prairie dogs. I put some of the
pictures up on Picasaweb, so you can view more there.
tail up, clearly not happy that we are anywhere near his little burrow! 
Mom and baby, hanging out at the burrow entrance.
Brian and his babies! 
Rochelle, with the same cute babies! (although Brandon would tell you that he is a big boy, and Caitlin is the baby!)
