The Adventures of Ellie and Edmond 
The prairie dog is one of my favorite animals. They are so cute, if destructive. I can remember going to a Little House on the Prairie set up with my family when I was a child and just loving watching the Prairie Dogs pop up and down from their holes. Just so cute.
My computer sent this before I could finish my name.
They are just ridiculously cute :)!
