I have been busy with the 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, and haven’t been posting too many things from my almost daily walks. But I’ve still been walking, and there has still been a lot to see. Christmas Day we were very lazy indeed, and the only thing we did was take Vinnie for a long walk through our fields. We walked him about 4-5 miles. It was a much needed walk for all of us.
The prairie dogs were out in droves, running all around the fields. I caught this little guy checking out the scene, making sure it was safe to go out.
There was a bunny laying low, hoping not to be seen.
This red-bellied woodpecker was hard at work trying his best to get all the insects from the tree.
Some geese all lined up, flying in formation.
And these squirrels were just having the time of their life, without a care in the world.
Look at me, I’m upside down in the tree.
When life gets you down, take a walk. Let all your stress just melt away. Don’t worry. Be happy.
Lol! All those cool little critters! I am glad you had a good walk! How big are prairie dogs? would they bite you if you got to close?

They run away from you if you get to close. They are only about 12 inches long and only weigh about 2-3 lbs on average. But just like any rodent, they can carry diseases, so you really don’t want them to bite you.

Would they hurt ordinary dogs you know pet dogs

No. They run away. The only time they would really hurt a person or an animal is if they were rabid or sick or injured.
