Usually Prairie Dogs are busy scurrying about from hole to hole feeding and digging. This guy seemed to just be carefree and chillin’ on his front porch on a late summer afternoon and enjoying the warm sun and expansive prairie view. He does look well fed and ready for the upcoming winter. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

That has got to be the fattest prairie dog I’ve ever seen! Too cute. He looks like he is watching a movie – all that is missing is the bowl of popcorn 😀

I think he already ate the popcorn. 🙂

This is a hysterical capture with those little feet sticking out! All he needs is a little can of Bud to go with that belly. 😉 Have you ever seen that video of the voiceovers of animals and the prairie dog (or marmot?) was shouting, “Allen! Allen!” This reminds me of that.

Hi Eliza, being from Colorado I would have to give this guy a can of our finest local cart beer but that’s besides the point. I have not seen the video but will search it out. Have a great day.
