Holy Cow. What a bunch of cuteness. Now that is something you just want to squeeze.

I never knew you could keep them as pets, obviously you can. Or is that only in certain places it's allowed.

Whenever I take my kids to the zoo, I can forget about anything else there is to see, I can stand at the prairie dog exhibit forever. Whenever we go I try and sneak them a bit of fresh grass without getting caught. Have been caught once and was given a stern reprimand about the grass, but isn't this funny...when the little kids are throwing them popcorn and chips, with their equally dumb parents watching, the blasted keepers never seem to say anything.

Anyway, PD is a keeper. Just a curious question. Do they actually make good pets?
