"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[kuntrygirl]

I remember many years ago when my pit bull was alive, she tore up an armadillo. She was pouncing on it against the house like a football player at practice hitting up against those dummy pads and pushing them down the football field. I didn't know what the heck was going on until I went outside and saw her shredding the poor thing to pieces. I was like, "Uh Oh".

They make great soup provided you can catch and open one.

Soup? I'll pass on that.

They almost always give birth to quadruplets (via eggs i thought...) And are carriers of leprosy also :/
But man can they dig out a red ant mound in no time!

Soup laced with leprosy and a dash of Tony Chachere's. Just great.

Those suckers can get hit by a car, flip the car, and still cross the street. The biggest reason for car crashes in state parks in FL.

I keep waiting for our dog to bring one home...alive! She has brought us rabbits, possums, etc. She plays with them and then lets them loose around our barn. My poor husband has had to catch and relocate more animals!

And why are you waiting for one? New pet?

Has to boil down for 24 hours so it won't be tough as nails, always figured that cooked everything out of it.

OK this is my intruder story. Years ago, Jim was out of town & it was just me & the dog. Sometime during the middle of the night I woke up & heard her growling. I got out of bed & she was standing in the living room staring at the patio door. I got my pistol & quietly walked towards it. I could hear something bumping & scratching like they were trying to get in the door. Every hair on her back & my neck was standing up!

Then it moved and we could hear it brushing against the hedge as it went around the corner of the house towards the back door. I dropped to my knees so the intruder couldn't see my shadow & crawled quietly into the kitchen - my dog following me, still growling, & picked up the phone & called my Dad (my folks live just down the road from us). I could hear the intruder bumping against the back door, trying to get in that way.

I heard Dad's truck coming down the driveway & when it stopped I threw on all the outside lights, threw the back door open & rushed out, pistol drawn, just as he ran out of the truck with his shotgun. 

It was a big armadillo wandering around the carport.

Terrii, I'm sitting picturing you in your night gown and slippers, tip toeing through your house and the dropping to the floor rolling as your survey the scene in trying to locate the intruder.

Funny story !!!!!!!

You have actually eaten that before?

Yes, when my daughter was young I had a nanny from Mexico that made it for me. I think what she said translated into Sunday meal specialty. It's hard to understand when you have to translate with a book. She took really good care of my kids and my husband (he spoke Spanish) and made this every Sunday for us, even begged for me to take an hour off of work to have a proper Sunday family meal.

Yes & you couldn't buy stockings & I forget what all else-tools maybe? The Blue Laws.
The only store I know of now that closes on Sundays is Hobby Lobby.

Also Chick Filet closes, but it's not a store lol. I used to live in Franklinton and ALL the store closed on Sunday but also at noon on Wednesdays. The town just shut down at noon. No cars downtown, nothing. Honestly, it was pretty cool. Just take a break in the middle of the week.

Oh please...what's one more animal at this point??? The homeless and dumped dogs, etc. seen to find us...and stay. Plus, it's always fun to hear my husband fuss about the "**** dog" (Millie is one he found and brought home)...at least then it's not the "**** chickens"! He's still recovering from building my coop and run. I think this might take a while. He just realized a couple of weeks ago that I had a rooster in the bunch.

In his defense, he's been working a lot and it is hot outside. I told him HE goes before Harry Larry (rooster, not porn star) does. Unless Harry Larry starts acting poorly, then I'll get rid of them both!
