“… and so he staggers in, (streeetch!) after drinking with his buddies until two A.M., (urrnngh!) and just looks at me like ‘what’d I do?’ even though he knew (hrrrrmph!) it was the six-month anniversary of our first date.”
“Listen, sweetie, (huff, puff) you need to stop being a (pant, pant) doormat and own this situation. (wheeeze) “
Namaste, Shana.

Reminds me of the baby funt tripping over the log (revealing some nice ‘tocks, since it is ‘tocktobr). Prairie dog ‘tocks just ain’t the same.
But they’re BASKING, folks! Basking is always good….
sure, its easy for them to go to the gym – they have a cute furry animal buddy
pic 1 – synchronized stayyythcingks! hee.
Now everybody into Vasistdasana.
Next up — downward facing prairie dog.
” I’m thinking of cancelling my membership, its obvious they haven’t had a good clean in here for ages. O-oh old Hari Krishna’s coming round, make like we’ve been holding the pose like she said.”
I *heart* prairie dogs. They’re just made of cute. And fuzz. And chub. *sigh*
Downward prairie dog? Killed me.
Are Prairie Dogs Gophers?
Anyway, very nice streeeeecthing there-have you ever considered going into physical therapy? Seriously, let’s get physical. Now that is what I call a ‘social animal’, they even exercise together while gossiping!
Prairie dog frog legs! The warmth must feel so good on their chubby tum tums. *heart*
@Hila: I’m with you 100 percent. Prairie dogs rock!
In photo two, our little friend on the left seems to have his/her mouth open. Perhaps we could have a lip-hance to confirm?
SO hilarious. I’m freezing right now, I envy these chubby little posers their sunbeam.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone. I’m off to cook me some turkey! (Well, for a fam of four, a large chicken, but the intent is the same).
When I was a kid, my family had a pet prairie dog named Bogey- he was the sweetest little guy! When he wanted to be held, he would streeeeeeeetch likes those cuties in the pics and go “squeee!”
He didn’t so much ask for attention as demand it.
Oh, and he also demanded to be held while I would lie on the couch and read, so that he could crawl into my shirt and take a nap in the armpit area.
Wow very cute
Katrina: Now you have the Olivia Newton John so 80′s like a mo’ fo’ song “Let’s Get Physical” in my head. But these dudes are so cute. Wow!
QoD: I’m just in a mean mood today……but sorry, anyway.
Let’s get physical! Physical! Let’s get Physical! Let me hear your body talk!!
Katrina: Let’s spread the love.
@ Courtney S.: That must have tickled!
Do we have as “Strayche” tag yet!?
*digging around boxes in the garage*
Where did I put my pink leg warmers and my headband?
I would love to hear the BBC Walk on the Wild Side people to get a hold of this one! ^_^
LovesDogs: omg, downward facing prairie dog…..*snorting, choking laughter*
the *one* time i took a yoga class, once we all learned “down dog,” we all begged for it…..”is it time for down dog yet?” …. “please can we have down dog now?”….. what desperate fools we were….
okay, i know they’re not muskrats, but does anybody besides me hear toni tennille?
@ Aquamarine(enjoyin’ the new nametag??)
please tell us, also, that these were 11-year old girls in this class, “beggin’ for it” …..
“Radiant Life Yoga Center” rotfl!!
That’s fuuunn-nee!
@Resriechan: i’m lovin’ it! now if i could just figure out how to get an avatar….
zoiks! i need to be more careful when writing and consider my audience! no, these were couch-potato like adults, and “down dog,” at least in my class, was just the collapsed-in-a-heap position in which we ended class. this is to point to our state of extreeeeeeeme unfitness, rather than any sort of…er, um….other activity…..or proclivities….or whatever…..um. yeah, i can see how “beggin’ for down dog”…. :-0
Love the fur pants, tocks and captions.
But simultaneous prairie dog ‘radiant yogas’ …OMG…genius
*GASP*
Aquamarine: Did you just refer to (pant, pant) The Captain and Tenille?!! (Not sure if I spelled that right).
Er… an anniversary means one year, rather than six months. Perhaps the dude missed the half-year mark.
@QOD: “….and they whirl and they twirl and they giggle…..” (not sure if i’m remembering those words right)
okay, i did just have to stifle a *small* gag reflex, but the 7th grade me definitely had that dorothy hamill haircut going, tryin’ to look like Tenille…..oh, dear, revealing my age….
Aquamarine: 7th grade. awwww. Bonnie Bell lip gloss, feathered hair and Love’s Baby Soft perfume. Phone that you had to do the twirly dial thing with. awwww.
@ Aquamarine & QoD:
1)”had to do the twirl dialy thing with”. At the time, sweetiebabycookiehoney, the Cro-Magnon who made phonecalls, often referred to this action & its part of the telephone as “dialing” or “the dial”. But I much prefer the nostalgic tenderness with which you attempted to reach the recorded message at the DMV office
I thought you did things like, playing Poker?
You can’t be winnin’ much, w/ that much nostalgia showing on your sleeve like that
2).Yup, them’s SOME uv the wirds uh’ thu”
“Kep’n” [Scotty, from St. Trek's aksent, there] and
Tuhneel, aw’right. However, it seems that [Important. Pause. Here.]

…..there is more, to this story.
**Please note just a bit of difference from your fond mem’ries of the lyrics; and also a bit of Backstory on the writing and about 2 versions of the song:
.**…and they whirled and they twirled AND THEY Tango’ed
Singin’ and jingin’ the jango …**
The band America first released the
single “Muskrat Love,” [written by Oklahoma singer/songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey]; in the year 1971
Warner Bros. was less than enthusiastic about the song, and as a single
it made it only to #67. But the “Muskrat” refused to die–Captain &
Tennille released their own version in 1976 and scored a #4 hit.

And, having DONE MY JOB, I will sign off (for QoD’s enjoyment especially) in “the following idiom”:

QOD & Resriechan: O you take me back!! Love’s Baby Soft….*sigh*…..also Sweet Honesty—remember that one? I had a whole collection of Avon fragrance keepsake figurines…..oh, and my hair never would feather right. I can’t BELIEVE anyone else remembers that!!
Resriechan, you are a font of knowlij! Aren’t you a librarian-type-person? Did I read that in one of these posts? I am super imp’d. Do you actually REMEMBER all that, or did you put your library/google superpowers to work?
what kind of animals are they, they look so cute..
