How’d these guys get through basic training, Peter Dutton?

    OK. This one’s easy.
    How many of us most enjoy the lil’ guy/ gal leaning on tha Haid of his
    fellow soljer (paw on top of neighbor’s Haid)?????

    Whaaaaa?

  3. Nikki says:

    Somewhere off camera, there is a completely ridiculous backstory to this photo…

  4. One Skunk Todd says:

    His Majesty’s Royal Prairie Artillery Regiment. :)

  5. me says:

    faces in front look a little strange…cute in an odd way

  6. Patris says:

    I believe that’s Teho’s platoon, right?

  7. Dash says:

    For all the chaos on the front line, they did a lovely job stacking the wee cannon balls in the back.

    • Berg says:

      I noticed that nice stacking as well! This photo gets funnier the longer I look at it…

      Are those cannons made from champagne bottles?

    Anybody remember George Carlin’s Indian Sergeant routine? The Prairie Dog Sergeant standing up in back really needs a George to speak for him.

  9. I like how the one little guys head is being used as a paw rest :)

    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

  11. Mudbug says:

    These are my cannons ! There are many like them but these ones are mine.!…….

  12. Theresa says:

    “Fetchez la vache!” :P

    Maybe I just don’t know prairie dogs, but these guys look, well, how to say it, mangy? Are they supposed to have all those what looks like bald spots? Not nu**ing, just curious. I’m sure someone can explain it.

    • Meaghan says:

      I don’t know if prairie dogs do this, but my pet rats sometimes over-groom each other and cause bald spots.

      • skippymom says:

        My Chloe does that to herself. Her little back legs are all skinny because she licks too much hair off them. The doctor commented on it at her check-up the other night but didn’t seem concerned.

    • 6Rabbits says:

      Yes, they do look mangy–especially in a close-up. I second the explanations request. Please, anyone?

  14. JME says:

    Uh oh… not much more time to keep the promise that the boys will be home by Christmas. They say that there are no atheists in prairie dog burrows, but it’s hard to see how one could maintain one’s faith in such terror and squalor. I hope they all get home alive and not shell shocked.

  15. bob drummond says:

    The way these guys are acting , they remind me of a military version of the Keystone Cops !!! :) Yuk, yuk,yuk!!!

  16. pounce says:

    Where do you even FIND a photo like this!?

  17. Aisling says:

    Cry “Havoc,” and let slip the (prairie) dogs of war!

  18. My prairie dogs are famous! And soon they shall rule the world! Mwahahaha!
