ARMADILLO WAR-PART DEAUX

We should all feel VERY sorry for the armadillo! His days are numbered as Babs is on a "Death Watch". She sent another E mail and I had to share:



One night I even got the baby monitor and set it in a crepe myrtle by his favorite bush. I fixed a bucket right beside it so that it would fall if he came scouting, and I would hear it through the monitor (with the receiver set by the bed). However, when Cecil heard thunder during the night, he woke me up, and I had to bring the monitor in. I might have had a hard time explaining to the kids why this device got wet hanging outside in the tree. Of course, this varmint made his rounds after I moved the monitor.

Part II You know how hard it is for me function without sleep. Well, last night, I did hourly checks of the yard armed with my shovel, flashlight, and cell phone. I slept off and on in the recliner between my hunts until 5:00 this morning. That pesky creature must have gotten the word that I was mad and looking for him because he did not show up. WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE:ONE OR MORE ARMADILLOS TEARING AND ROOTING UP MY YARD. A $50.00 REWARD IS BEING OFFERED.

I am looking forward to posting a picture of Babs & Her Varmint-feet pointed toward the sky!

I've been hunting too. Can't wait to blast him after all the damage he's done.

Just who were you gonna call?

Still patrolling. Good luck with your hunt.
