Facet 11- Watching the Prairie Dogs



This may strike some of you readers as either sappy or childish, or perhaps both. So be it. One of the great things about the city of St. Louis is the Zoo. Amazingly enough, it is a world-class zoo which happens to be free to get into.

When I'm there, my fave animal exhibit is undoubtedly the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog. I know their reputation as varmints. But they're just so CUTE. Say what you will about me, but I can sit there and watch them all day. I generally have to be pried away from them. They're just so fun to look at. I love watching them pop in and out of their holes. I often wonder what they are thinking. Childish? Maybe. Child-like? Certainly.
