Critters of the Wild Wild West

First things first...Zippy if you get lonely while your peeps are away, teleport over to my house.

Next - life is going to be treacherous here at the peeps for a while 'cause the peeps are now on their "post vacation diet"...no treats for a long long while.

The peeps saw tons of interesting critters on her road trip to Deadwood. For instance, live prairie dogs (fields full of 'em), deers and antelopes (lots and lots), burros, buffalos and even cats. Yup, she gots pictures of cats.

Did you know that in the US of A, they hunt wild critters and take them to a guy (in a taxi?) who stuffs them and then they put them up on the walls in bars (Okay, they do that in Canada too..I'm not sure why) In Deadwood, they got dead critters hanging on the walls of saloons by the gazillion. Everything including all kinds of deers elks and moose, porcupines, bears (more than you'd believe)sword fish, etc.

I'll tell you all about my visit with Marble in another post. Here is a slide show for you to look at.


The lady peep put in a couple pictures of her too (at the end) and her friends. Some of the pictures aren't of real critters - the bucking bronc is a sign above a bar...the lady peep says broncs are wild west critters, so its okay. Oh, and the cats in the car were having lots of fun...they weren't hot or anything like that. They had food and a litter box and they were seeing the world. Lucku things.
