The Six Amigos
Here we all are...The real person on the right is our buddy Dick from Arizona. He's one the bestest people in the whole world. Anyway, we stopped by these 3 Amigos on our way out to watch the mini rodeo. Cute.
I don't think anyone realizes just how long I've waited to see a real armadillo. Ever since we went to Houston regularly in 1997, we've been waiting to see an armadillo. We even went to the zoo in Houston to see one but he was on vacation at some other zoo. I've seen more empty armadillo homes with children's renderings of armadillos than I'd care to count. So not only did I see one, I saw 5-6 of them, I played with them, I held one AND I raced one. I happen to think they are kind of cute. This is a photo of the baby one...I raced the big daddy one...I think it was a rigged race, though, but I'll accept my prize anyway: a shot glass with an armadillo figure in the bottom playing a guitar. Tasteful.

Love the picture. Isn't the skin of an armadillo prickly?

Not Prickly, DA...sort of a hard leathery feel to it. He did have some hairs but they were few and far between. Long long claws and I wouldn't say that these were overly cuddly either. I tried to cuddle one but he wasn't having any of it.
