I think that prairie dogs just might be the cutest creatures on the planet. However, it just seems to me that this is horrific idea. We don't need to try to domesticate an animal that normally lives in colonies that number in the thousands and needs to burrow. Just a hunch...

This makes a lot more sense. I had no idea that they were so widespread as pets. Turns out it's legal in Connecticut.

However, if my cat could tolerate a chinchilla I'd be all about that...
