    I love prairie dogs! Lots of personality shown here, and adorably social.

    …Um, Theo took the photos with his own two eyes?…

  2. Diane Nichols says:

    Prairie dogs after me own heart right there. Ain’t nothin’ nicer than layin’ in the dirt in the sunshine!

  3. Theo says:

    Robert M. — yep. I am in fact a cyborg. You’ll never guess where my USB port is.

  4. Margaret says:

    Nerd humor!

  5. Mook says:

    3rd photo: “Ya know Milton’s right – this does feel good!!!”

  6. Theo says:

    Margaret — what can I say? Guilty as charged.

  7. misscrisp says:

    Teho- thanks again for the sunday supplement. good man.

    I too will be getting the Canon XR6000 retinal camera implants, just as soon as I’ve saved up!

    these guys are a new definition of “dogpile!”

  8. AuntieMame says:

    We don’t want to see your USB port, Theo. Please!

    And where’s some nice, warm dirt where I can platz out, too?

  9. lurkertype says:

    Ohhh, these p-dogs make me want to go stretch out in my backyard.

  10. Lisa says:

    Aaahhh, the power of example. I think I will just lay down now.

  11. little miao says:

    Awwww… I love how the little one in the middle’s paw is sticking out behind him. And all of their wee ears…

  12. Brak_Silverbone says:

    They’re doing yoga!

  13. TastesLikeChicken says:

    Picture 3 reminds me of trying to sleep in a 4’6″ bed with a 6ft+ (now ex) husband and 3 dogs. 1 dog was incontinent, 1 dog snored really loudly ( a peke) and the third dog would sleep between us with legs extended to keep me away from her master! Fond memories. It never occurred to me to make them sleep on the floor – perfect conditioning.

  14. DLT says:

    narf!

  15. Martha in Washington says:

    Groucho, Harpo and Zeppo?

  16. Cels says:

    Theo has photographic eyes?

  17. Darcy says:

    ahaha…sweet sunshiney prairie dirt. funny.

  18. redhed says:

    they look like my hamster without the bef. sweet.

  19. Lauri says:

    Bwaahaahahahaahah…..this is great!
    Boof, splat, dorkbot roomies!

    This reminds me of many of the stories my son told me of things he and his roomies did to each other. Not so hard to believe silly human males being so goofy….

    Equally funny to see P-dogs doing it!

  20. Thalia says:

    Yeah, Harpo would definitely be the one piled on top in the middle.

    Ya know, and this is admitting to a scary level of dorkiness, but Pinky (of “and the Brain”) once proposed to me…

    And, GAAAH, Theo! I did not need that idea in my head!

  21. Subhangi says:

    LOL!!!! I’m in my third semester now … the first two semesters there were three of us in a room … one rommie in particular would get up every morning for a workout, and me and the other one would mimic her, give running commentary (“Aaaaand thats a FANtastic stretch, a 9.8 for that one.”) make all sorts of weirdass noises and drive her nuts!

    [sigh] Those were some good times.

  22. Aubrey says:

    Prairie Home Companions!

    (yeah, Subhangi – goofiness keeps one young. It’s what I tell people, anyway. They don’t have to know about the Devil’s Contract I signed, or about my portrait which ages with every sin I commit, while my face remains dewy and pristine.)

  23. Subhangi says:

    Aubrey – Wow. You’re a Wilde one.

  24. Cujo and Mia says:

    They moved all the prairie dogs out of the park where we walk sometimes.
    Boo, hiss!

  25. Lex - Be says:

    LOL Theo, nerd humor, I love that. lol, haaa, dear.

    Anyway, cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute Prairie Dogs, want to hug want to hug!!! Wait for me guys! I’m coming at yall!

    And how is it, Theo, that we only get to see those pictures now… what kinda excuse are you gonna find?
    Had your USB port crashed?…

  26. beccajo says:

    ah, the prairie dogs.
    lurve that exhibit! i think they should build a human sized version of their tunnels so adults can have just as much fun as the prairie dogs. ‘if you look out the left side of the monorail, you’ll see our new prairie human exhibit!’

  27. jaypo says:

    Cool dogs, not hot dogs!
    Flexi-d0gs. Thanks, Teho!

  28. Lauri says:

    Ooooh, I wanna be in the human prairie exhibit!

    *poinks head out of hole in the ground. Tosses several puddin’s in random directions. Bloops back into hole*

  29. Lauri says:

    Hey, Peeee-eeeggg, here are the Praire Dog Tritych-tocks!!!

  30. Tracey says:

    WTG Theo! Great pics. I love prairie dogs, when I was young my girl scout troop “adopted” one at the MI zoo. BTW, if you see “xstitchmama” on vox has added you to her neighborhood, that’s me. :-)

  31. Aubrey says:

    Yes, Subhangi; I am very Earnest in my Wilde-ness. Though I very much am A Woman Of No Importance.

  32. Theo says:

    So you’re nobody too? Then there’s a pair of us…

  33. Arvay says:

    Don’t tell! They’d banish us…

  34. Theo says:

    …oh noes.

  35. Lauri says:

    If we quadruple nobodies do we still have nothing?

  36. chica con gatitas says:

    Me like prairie dogs mucho. I habbent seen ‘em at my local zoo in a looonng time. They’re fun to toss peanuts to. We enjoy eyeing eachother, sizing up one another. Yep. I toss a handfull o-nuts, they return w/a martini-in-a-bag. I plan to sew little red satin bartending vests for ‘em.

  37. Theo says:

    KittenGirl — many are the souls who would share this wondrous world with you.
    Perhaps you would be willing to help staff the CO Dream Office’s brasserie?
    (please take careful note of the spelling)

  38. Subhangi says:

    Theo – I misread it, aaargh. Couldn’t you have just said “patisserie”? ;)

    Baking, baking . . . they are getting soooooo warmmm!
