The Prairie dogs of Devils Tower
Love stopping by Devil's Tower National Monument!
We have walked around the base before and we saw a porcupine scurry away.
This visit was mostly about the prairie dogs though. I just love them!
Just chillin'.
He looks like he's praying to the grass gods, lol.
This fellow, or lady, is nice and petite.
The opposite of petite?
Peek-a-boo
Mine! It's mine! Get away!
If I sit very still she won't see me.

Some of my favorite dogs
On our way into the Theodore Roosevelt National Park we saw this Bald Eagle sitting way up high.
But as we came around the next curve in the road we were greeted with a Prairie Dog community. How I love these guys. They are so fun to watch and it's intriguing to me that they all live in a little community - you never see just one prairie dog hole all by itself.
They kinda bark like my pups, how nice of them to warn their neighbors.
I wondered if this one was just chubby, or maybe getting ready to add to the community?
I think this is one of the older members of the group, she reminds me of Ma from the Golden Girls, lol.
I guess every community has a dimwit, er uh village idiot. I don't think it would be very safe to have your hole right in the middle of the road, cars can play a game of whack-a-mole by accident.
