The Prairie Dog

Most of you are probably not aware that Colorado is overrun with prairie dogs, and our neighborhood seems to be a favorite spot for them. At first I thought they were cute, but I have since come to the conclusion, as have most of the non-tree-hugging Coloradans, that they are stupid, disease-carrying rodents that kill all the grass. Even my children think they are dumb and there is rarely a day that we drive to school and don't have to dog PD carnage. They run out in the middle of the road and stand up and look at your car as you bear down on them! K took it upon herself to express her opinion of the animals in a Haiku she had to write for English. I cracked up when I read it!!

Living in a hole
Stupidly perched on the rim
Waiting for a car

I'm sure that, somehow, prairie dogs in the road has something to do with nature! Nicely said, K!
