That little rodent is the scourge of many a rancher, the target of many a guy sighting in his rifle, and the closest thing we got to groundhogs. Yep, it is a prairie dog. It pains me to say it, but I guess this proves ... Not everything in Texas is bigger.
***I actually cheated and took this picture Friday afternoon since I knew I'd be too busy to go chasing shadows yesterday. I tried to post a larger shot but blogger refused to let me. Maybe you can click on it to make it (it being the picture) bigger. But for the record it was sunny here so I'm sure shadows were plentiful, meaning six more weeks of winter here in the Texas Panhandle.

Uh, er, um...I don't know you that well yet Travis -- I mean, this post title?!? Bwwaaaahhhaaahhaaa!!! But if you say so, I'll say "okay", sure. ;)
*snicker* he said click it and make it bigger... *snicker, snicker*
oh Wordvixen, get your mind out of the gutter. :P
Groundhog day just happened? Man, I totally missed that. How did that famous one do? Phil. More winter or spring yet? It was very spring-like here today.
Texas does have many things. Not all good. See: Dallas, the Stars, the Cowboys. (man, I have such a good time hating Dallas :)
A good thing I remember, though: the place in Amarillo where if you can eat a 72-oz steak in 1/2 an hour you get it for free. :D
Sorry Travis, but our mountains our bigger than yours. :)
Sherry, good to see you enjoying this post so much! LOL
We always get six more weeks of winter up here, groundhog shadows or not.
My brother hates these buggers. They are a chronic pest in his garden
our huge neighborhood hawk, that i once mistook as a monkey in the street, who definitely love your neck of the woods...um, prairie.
Does a chupacabra look for it's shadow?
Nothing a .223 can't fix. :)
