PrairieDog Heaven

I just saw the most twisted and disgusting image ever! I was driving home in my automobile:) and swirved to miss a prairie dog which was all bloody and his body was flopping crazily on the ground. It was like a chicken with his head cut off. UuGH! I guess that is what they get when prairie moms don't teach their prairiedogs to look both ways before crossing the street! I had one stand upright on it's hind legs and just stare at me. i figured once I got close enough it would move. I guess we played chicken and I was, unfortunately, the chicken! the darn thing was dumb!! then just today after seeing that nasty image, 3 prairie dogs were on the side of the street. One crossed in plenty of time, then the 2nd made it across barely. I slowed down to wait for the 3rd one, but it just sat and stared at me, so I figured it would wait. Then as I pressed the gas it decided to cross, and low and behold it went under me. I freaked out because that is just gross to kill something with your car. I guess I shouldn't assume that a prairie dog will wait for a car before crossing the street. I looked in my rear view mirror and it was flopping then a few seconds later it got up and finished crossing. It was odd. I wonder what crosses their minds, if they have one. Was thatr dog dared by his buddies to do that or do they think they rule the world and everyone will stop for them or are they really just stupid things that are plotting to take over Cedar City?! They say they are endangered, but the organization that decided that has obviously never been to Cedar city!! If they are really endangered it is because they run in front of cars and eat eachother! anyways, that is my deep and intellectual thoughts for the day. Owen is asleep and Dakota is trying to eat a wrapper, so I better go!! She stuck her binky in her mouth, I guess the wrapper wasn't very good. she is a very active and fun baby, but when she crawls I will have to keep a close eye on her very curious mind!!!! Owen has been wearing his huge boots everywhere. He says, "Owen wear boots like daddy!" It is pretty cute!
