I am a prairie dog. I look like an over-sized rat. My name is Tucker. I scurry around the country to find food for my family. I have 4 kids and 1 wife. When I am traveling with my family, it takes us longer but it is more fun. I like being with my family. When I am traveling alone, I can go faster and don't have to stop a lot but is quite boring and lonely. When you look around you see lots of preditors, , birds, and other animals. It is tuff to avoid them. I run through the brush and dirt to camoflauge myself. I once out ran a falcon. I was scared out of my witts. Sometimes, if we are traveling and we find a campfire with no one at it and unattended food, we will grab some and run. If we were to get caught, who knows what would happen to us. I don't think it would be good, we would be dinner. We have traveled through rough summers with the blazing hot sun beaming down on us. It is always hot when it is 75-85 degrees, but during the summer it is between 90 and 105 degrees. We try to stay in one place over the summer because it is som miserable with childer in the hot summer. I like it in the winter when it is around 60 degrees. Then we can travel without problems. We dig holes in the ground. We dig 4 small holes and 2 big holes that meet up under ground, so if there is a problem, we all arn't scurrying out of the same hole. We make a cave under ground in the summer months so we can be spread out so we arn't as hot. But during the winter months, we make 2 holes to keep as much warm air inside. W make a tight space so we are all squished together and warm. We hardly ever sneak into orphanages but when we do we go straight to the kitchen and the women give us snacks. Sommetimes we play with the children when the adults arn't looking because they think we could give the aids. Life is pretty good as a prairie dog, I like this.
