Bravo! Metaphors are fun. They allow you to say what you want to say more artfully than you could if you were direct, and they also allow you to create the impression that you are saying more than you really are. Every poet's tool kit should have a good supply of metaphors in it. Obviously, yours does.

Oh poor little prairie dog. You describe his woes so well.

Instinct and senses, our friends can live precarious lives, as can we I suppose, if we all got closer to the nature inside us, I think we all could sense what capricious weather and storms will bring

Your prairie dog may be a metaphorical you, but this is the reality of me and my squirrels and cottontails, especially the past month of almost constant storms, though each morning we do "throw caution to the wind" along with sunflower seeds and pecans.
