Saving the Prairie Dogs

A couple people have commented on the post about my pet prairie dog who passed away. I wanted to add a link for a site that's working to educate people about prairie dogs as pets and in the wild. There are many issues affecting these animals in the wild and as pets. They are currently banned to be sold or traded in all fifty states so the best anyone can do is protect them in the wild. Having owned one I know what type of animal they are and I care deeply for them and I wanted to pass on the info for anyone that would like to check it out. I don't understand all of the issues so I will not go into it, I will just post the link. So please if you have time check it out.

On A Side Note

Who is this you're probably wondering. Well this was my best little buddy in the whole world. I got him as a baby and raised him all by my self. Some could say he was like my child. He was the sweetest most loving creature I have ever known. He taught me so many things about myself and about life. He taught me to be selfless and he taught me what its like to truly love something or someone else completely with all your heart. Unfortunately his life was cut short by a disease that captive prairie dogs get called odontoma in which a tumor grows on the tooth and causes the poor animal to suffocate. I lost him when he was barely three years old and I still can't look at his picture without crying. I don't think I'll ever be able to. You're probably wondering why I'm bringing this up at all. Well folks, this story was the tearjerker designed to bring you in. I'm looking for human interaction, I'm looking to know that there is someone out there. Anyone got a pet story? I know people love to talk about their pets. I want to hear from someone who's got the strangest pet, I had a prairie dog, someone top that. I love animals and always will, I'm sure there's some of you out there who love them too, don't be shy.
