Damned Armadillo - Number TWO!

This is the 2nd Armadillo captured and/or killed in the yard. The wife took the pups out last night to walk around the yard... suddenly, the dogs are chasing... something. The wife starts yelling "Get it Sebastian, get it! Good boy!!!" and I jump off the couch to see what's going on. I open the door in the living room, look out, and everyone is in the side yard... OK, close that door, go to the Dining room door, open that, and everyone is back over by the other door now. {shakes head} Back to the first door... "What's going on?" I ask. The wife spins and squeels with glee "It's the Armadillo! The dogs almost had it! Get a gun!" Now, this being Tejas, and it being my lovely bride... when she says fetch a weapon, you do it, never-mind looking for pants first! I saw the dogs had cornered the little fellah under the propane tank, so I got the .22-LR. Headed over, with flashlight, and he was digging as quick as he could for China! The wife got the dogs inside, and I popped a few rounds in him. Back inside, wait for a few minutes for it to die, and then back out (this time wearing pants) and we extracted the big boy out from under the tank... He'd dug about 18" down in a matter of a minute! Much more, and he'd have been out of range I'm sure.

Scratch a 2nd Armadillo...
