Cute Armadillo

[KristyHall]

I was feeding he chickens his morning and my little terrier/corgi mix started barking and barking at something in the brush. she never barks unless there is something/someone there.
I went over to look and so did my other dogs and out rushed an armadillo. The fat thing waddles away past my chickens as quick as it could. I called the dogs back so they don't hurt the little guy, but the minor event brought a smile to my face so i thought I would share.

I love the dillos

DH? Not so much, but he and the dogs are not allowed to bring any harm to our resident dillo.

Did you know they like eggs?
I caught one rading my guinea nest.

That's what raided my turkey nest last year...18 eggs gone overnight. I don't like armadillos

faq's. I had a patient with leprosy, it was from armadillos in New Mexico. But according to current scientific data, its rare. Still, I wouldn't touch a wild armadillo. They sure are neat, tho!

I have always heard that Armadillos carry leprosy

We've got 'em here too. Don't harm anything except the ants.
