Got my pup and the 4 year old on Easter Sunday, All in the mouth, bad, Atrip to the Vet, On Easter Sunday I had to drive 2 hours to find a Vet and the cost was The new two row plough I was going to get. Between 2 of my dogs I have been 5 times to a Vet. The old dog got about 10 Quilles, Witch I could pull out useing the cut the ends. Never got another. The other pup never gets them, But my other 2 dogs must be a little slow, or into pain. I hope I am not raising S&M dogs. killed 3 on the place last year.

"Lab? LOL"

NOPE it was an Anatolian Shepherd pup - the most athletic of the bunch. She always tries to be first at everything.

"everything has a purpose"

I guess, but I am still trying to figure out the Porkies purpose. They destroy anything with salt in it - saddle, tool handles, wood handles on equipment. What a pest.

Armadillos eat up all kinds of beetle/bug larvae. They just rototill your gardens and dig up everything else inthe process. On dug some much that several of our large cacti fell over. And their burrows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up in central Texas. When you shoot the dillo's in the head with your 22 it jumps about 5-6 feet straight up. It is dead when it hits the ground. I have not seen them up here on the ridge but I see them drunk laying on the side of the road all the time. The five foot tall ones are really something to see.

That's how I always read it and spelled it. It's just that Old Vet seems to know so much about critters, I wanted to make sure if I misread and misspelled it over the years
