As you go to the Holiday in the Park enjoying the festive cheer of holiday lights, don't mind me. I'll just be dying at your side. If you read today's (Friday's) paper, you've seen that the City of Lawton has embarked upon another round of its War on Prairie Dogs. (and you thought the War on Terror would never end). This time instead of turning our tunnels into gas chambers, this time the preferred method of execution is poison bait. "Oh look, a tasty, chewy confection of unknown origin... gack"
The one saving grace is that, in the past the goal seemed to be eradication (and you've noticed how successful that was. This time the powers that be seem to be satisfied to shew us to the periphery of the park, so we don't get in the way of their blessed festivals.
I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again. If the city would commission a nice large statue as an homage to the prairie dog, they might actually make it into a few travel guides. We could christen Lawton as THE Prairie Dog Town. It would make Elmer Thomas Park truly unique, as opposed to the generic bare field it would be without us.
But, no, the city prefers the killing fields to continue.
Maybe we could get a statue and call it The Tomb of the Unknown Prairie Dog.

Re: Under siege again
I like that idea Sheridan. Let's make the Prairie Dog Lawton's little rodent maskot. Because, to quote an older gentlemen when the topic was mentioned in passing..."Them prairie dogs... We don't want 'em dead, and we don't want 'em alive". An eternal bone of contention, a universal topic of conversation unique to our city.

Hello, out there! I'm Bonnie Barker. You are all probably acquainted with my nephew, Sheridan, otherwise known as the "smartest prairie dog in town".
Being somewhat envious of Sheridan's success, I decided that I should host a blog of my own. I am interested in all the news that's fit to print and some that isn't. If you don't have anything nice to say, please come down to the prairie dog mounds and let's dish!
