Walter

The ear doctor and I are considering getting a pet.

We want to catch a prairie dog from the vacant field just down the street from our house. Then we are going to build him a tall, clear plexi-glass terrarium, fill it with dirt from the vacant lot, and place in out on our small balcony by my tomato plant. Then we are going to enjoy watching him dig tunnels in the terrarium...like a really cool big ant farm.

It will be great.

And we're calling him Walter.

Now I just have to go hone my prairie dog catching skillz....

Just so you know - bubonic plague is endemic in prairie dogs. They are also a vector for rabies.......
and their tunnels go quite deep so you should build a large terrarium. Other than that, it would be a fun idea.
