“There is an old Navajo warning that if you kill off the prairie dogs there will be no one to cry for rain … In fact, the burrowing animals, like prairie dogs, open breathing tubes in the Earth.  The underground aquifers act like the diaphragm in human bodies; the moon as it passes raises and lowers the underground water table and the Earth breathes through the many fissures and tubes opened by the burrowing creatures.  The exhalation of moisture-ladened air, filled with negative ions, helps create rain.”  -- Stephen Harrod Buhner in Sacred Plant Medicine  *

  4. The image is beautiful…as a child I yearned to have one as a pet. My mother silenced my request with the position they carry rabies…young heart broken. Yet, after reading your narrative leaving them to be a distant pet would be best for all…young heart healed.

    • Even though they’re herbivorous  Prairie dogs will attack ground squirrels because supposedly they don’t want the competition. Happy holidays to you as well and best wishes for the new year! 🙂

  9. They are so very adorable.
    Man destroys them to increase his profit margin in farming…. or worse …. because they mess up the garden. I simplify, but …. can’t we all live together?
