The old saying, "a picture says a thousand words,” is how I feel about this image. I could say, "Don't look behind us. Mom and dad are kissing," or "Oh, no. Here they go again," or "I see nothing, nothing at all,” or in the words of my youngest child, "Ahh, they're getting married!”

Whatever thoughts you have, these little prairie dogs are adorable. They come with a lot of entertainment when you sit with them long enough. Their chats, touches, rolls, watchful eyes, squeaks, and hands in the air, as if giving thanks to Jesus, when an 'all clear' sounds brings much joy to a silent observer.
