Mrs. Plumpersons

by Meg on July 23, 2006

We’ve seen some premium prairie doggage on this site before. I mean premium. But Mrs. Plumpersons here really takes the cake. You know she’s on her ‘front porch’ right now, telling the kids to get back in the hole. Thing is, can she fit down it?

Cute as a button, but I fear that may be a prairie dog.

Take a look at my new kitty Atreyu! Is he cute?

Looks like a prairie dog to me too. But oh my WHAT a prairie dog! You can almost picture a moo moo on it and a glass of sweet tea in her little paw.

8 Theo 07.23.06 at 2:37 pm

Chuckers? Phbttttht… more like Chubbers.

(PS — Well well, Lohan Roberto has a *new* kitty… to spam all over the place. I’ve asked him to cut it out. We’ll see what happens.)

9 Christina 07.23.06 at 2:37 pm

She’s so yellow, at first I almost thought she was a chick.

Cute and fluffy though.

10 Tanya 07.23.06 at 2:57 pm

That’s a little cute overloaded..but [scratch sctrach] I love it. =)

11 arbed 07.23.06 at 3:07 pm

Perhaps Mrs. Plumpersons *did* take the cake. Mmmmmmmmmm caaaaaaaake………

12 Tanya 07.23.06 at 3:12 pm

where the other picture?? Hmmph… to much cute [boom]

13 MissV 07.23.06 at 3:20 pm

Yep. That’s definitely a prairie dog. My sister had one as a pet. Cute indeed but also extremely *mean*! Hoo boy!! They gots long sharp teefs and they know how to use ‘em….

14 Lizzy 07.23.06 at 3:23 pm

All she needs is a weeee little apron. :)

15 Lizzy 07.23.06 at 3:24 pm

All she needs is a weeee little apron. :)

16 Lizzy 07.23.06 at 3:26 pm

Grah! Double-postage! >_< !!!

17 Michelle 07.23.06 at 3:30 pm

Haha so sweet. She does need a lil apron. Lil Apron.

Chubby animals are teh cute. That is all.

18 Fritatta 07.23.06 at 3:43 pm

“premium woodchuckage…” Ah, Meg, what would we do without your captionairing eminence? (Although my vote is for prairie dog).

19 Daphne 07.23.06 at 4:43 pm

it IS a prairie dog.
I had one as a pet and it was the sweetest thing ever. When she was a pup I would take her everywhere with me. She would sleep on my pillow.
I miss her.

20 Meg 07.23.06 at 4:45 pm

Heeee! You’re right! All ‘woodchuck’ references changes to ‘Prairie dogs’!

Woo, that was a close one [wiping brow]

21 Lillith 07.23.06 at 4:58 pm

I think Mrs. Plumpersons looks rather prim and need a little pillbox hat, kid gloves and a Kelly bag.

“What on earth is taking George so long to warm up the car?”

22 Donna 07.23.06 at 5:08 pm

So cute and cuddly

“Get your little butts in the door!”

23 Judy B 07.23.06 at 5:15 pm

Ooh yes, I’m with Lillith, that is such a beautiful mental image I now have!

24 Susan 07.23.06 at 5:20 pm

Goodness! That’s the biggest prairie dawg I’ve ever seen!

25 cheryl 07.23.06 at 5:52 pm

she has a worried look on her weatherworn brow, like she’s about to start wringing her paws, wondering where-oh-where dorothy is, what with the twister comin’ and all. get in the storm cellar, aunt ‘em!!! dorothy’s just out shopping for some cool ruby slippers!

26 J. Bo 07.23.06 at 5:59 pm

Agh! It’s a fatty-boombalatty prairie dog!

27 Catman Dude 07.23.06 at 6:07 pm

She is thinking: “Hmmmmm…I’d like some pork rinds right now…”

28 Chelsey 07.23.06 at 6:18 pm

Aww. I suppose that the person who took that picture must have some awesome zoom on their camera, because it’s hard to belive that a prarie dog would let anyone get that close. Of course, there’s always the chance that she really couldn’t fit inside her burrow :p

29 hrh.squeak 07.23.06 at 6:51 pm

She looks disapproving to me. “Honestly, I can’t believe she’s sunbathing in the altogether again. I have a good mind to call the Prairie Cops”.

30 Beanie 07.23.06 at 7:00 pm

She is adorable!! very motherly indeed…

31 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 07.23.06 at 7:14 pm

This one is the cutest of the 3 prarie dog pics viseted/revisited via this post. I agree, it does take the cake!

32 Mika 07.23.06 at 7:41 pm

actually if they are wild prairie dogs, u can actually get that close to them.
the trick is to not move, and just be part of the background, and avoid eye contact. i went to this field with prairie dogs, and I just leaned against a pole and relaxed when suddenly i felt something paw my jeans. i look down and see 3-4 prarire dogs pawing my jeans and nipping my shoelaces and poking me XD I decided to just stand there and not do anything, and they promptly decided I’m just another ‘thing’ and started to eat and groom beside me. =)

33 cuteness lover 07.23.06 at 8:09 pm

I think she is beautiful

34 babyguru 07.23.06 at 8:18 pm

” GIT OFFA MY PROPITTY! Dern kids!(shakes her little fist)”

Roofle!

All she needs is a cig stickin’ out from between her broken/discoloured teefs, a scruffy mu-mu, hair curlers and a gat in one hand (a gun)

Aaand the propah spellin’ fer a ‘moo moo’ is mu-mu, btw…

35 Alex 07.23.06 at 8:38 pm

S/he was a _total_ ham, actually. As I came up to the area….waddled out, sat up and posed for me. heh. The zoom wasn’t that great, but just enough from where I was. Was using a Nikon coolpix at the time.

36 Spryte808 07.23.06 at 8:40 pm

Mu mu is actually spelled Muumuu in Hawaii!

but thats a cute prairie dog, and I can imagine it getting stuck in the hole.. “ehn ehn!… ehn ehn! uh love? you mind giving giving me a hand here?”

37 Pablo 07.23.06 at 9:27 pm

I love Plumpersons !!

39 Mel 07.23.06 at 10:01 pm

Prairie hawg.

40 Jody 07.23.06 at 10:19 pm

Could this be the prairie dog version of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? Could Gilbert prairie dog be trying to get his little brother to come down off the power tower again?

41 Maybalee 07.23.06 at 11:29 pm

Why is there a link to porn from Pablo?! :( Not cool.

42 Anita 07.24.06 at 12:05 am

With her shape, she almost looks like a shmoo!

43 Patricia 07.24.06 at 2:56 am

I love the pic. I’m not a prude but still… could you remove the porn link from Pablo’s post… or the post, please.

44 BJ 07.24.06 at 3:30 am

Could she be preggers? We are all assuming a she, aren’t we?

45 hrh.squeak 07.24.06 at 6:06 am

Yeee. Thanks for the warning, Maybalee and Patricia – for some reason I didn’t click on that link immediately, and now I’m very glad.

46 Aubrey 07.24.06 at 6:57 am

She’s just waiting for her Companion to come home. It might be a while – this looks like the desert, so Minnesota must be some time away.

47 A thinker 07.24.06 at 1:26 pm

Quite regal in her fatness.

48 The Honourable Gadys Anstruther 07.24.06 at 2:04 pm

She’s saying ‘I told em the Atkinson wouldn’t work’

49 Theo 07.24.06 at 3:28 pm

50 Theo 07.24.06 at 3:29 pm

(dangit, clicked “Post” by accident!)

…all I was going to say was, we’ve got dirt in MN too.

51 jenni joon 07.24.06 at 4:29 pm

Like I alwayz says: it ain’t “plump” but… healthy. Yeah. That’s the ticket. Healthy, yo!! (you can get away with that sort of nonsense when you are as gosh-darned cute as Mrs. Mcplumperson up there). You bet your bottom dollar.

52 Andi 07.24.06 at 9:32 pm

How come it’s like, ok, that she’s all fat, and I can’t be fat?? It’s CUTE when prairie dogs and puppies are fat, but copy editors? Nooo, people always telling me to slim down, eat less. I want to bask in my roundness, too!!!

EHHHNNN!

53 S.B. 07.24.06 at 11:11 pm

My BF and I were at the zoo yesterday, and the prairie dogs were to DIE FOR. I said, “Too bad we didn’t bring the camera – we could send some pictures to Cute Overload!”

Someone was more on top of it than me, it seems.

54 Theo 07.25.06 at 2:07 am

S.B. — a little something for you. I took this at the MN Zoo in July 2005.

my 1st time commenting at cuteoverload. *ehem*

this prairie dog is damn fat. i feel like squeezing its lil’ body. i love its squinty eyes. i wish we had prairie dog here in Malaysia. :(

56 Subhangi 07.25.06 at 1:03 pm

Mrs. Chubbie McChubbersons is seriously missing an apron there …

57 Theresa Morgan 07.25.06 at 5:08 pm

it’s cute, fat and soft and I love it

58 Laurie C 07.25.06 at 5:19 pm

Too right, Subhangi. I actually had to look again to make sure she wasn’t already wearing one after reading your post.

59 Diane N 07.25.06 at 7:50 pm

If the Buddha was a prairie dog…

61 Crystal 07.25.06 at 11:13 pm

Aw, I just want to squeeeeezze her!

62 bjoy 07.26.06 at 5:32 am

She’s fuffy…!
What a fuffy puffy !

63 butchie 07.27.06 at 2:13 am

Mmmm. Stew.

64 lurkertype 07.27.06 at 2:59 am

Yes, she needs an apron.

The CO postings of prairie doggage are helping me overcome a neurosis my mom drilled into me (quel surprise huh?). I grew up near loads of the critters, with the romping and the squeaking and such but Mom was all “Don’t touch them! Don’t go over there! They might have bubonic plague!” Here I can appreciate the qute.

65 hrh.squeak 07.27.06 at 6:37 am

“Bubonic PLAGUE”? Good golly miss molly, your mom must have been quite the trial. Worst my mom ever did was tell me the “don’t swallow the watermelon seeds or a vine will grow out of your bellybutton” – the best part was watching my little sister pull up her shirt and give her bellybutton a horrified stare.

66 o 07.27.06 at 8:38 pm

Thah-yet’s one fah-yet prehrie dawg wawtching out fer her kids, y’all.

Cute.
