I want to teach facts about armadillos because some people don't have the right information about them.
Some people think that armadillos just live in Texas, but they live all over the Southern United States. These creatures are mainly nocturnal. They have given some people leprosy, but this is very rare. Armadillos have sharp claws that help them dig burrows and tear up the earth to find food. They like to dig in my mom's gardens and grass at night. They can roll up and use their hard shell as protection from predators. Armadillos are not bad creatures. People just don't understand them. Most people only see these interesting animals laying along the roadside.
My uncle Marc really likes armadillos. He saw an armadillo ghost once in my yard!

Why don't we have pet armadillos? Just had to ask. Love you Matthew. You share some very interesting information about armadillos.
Matthew,
I think it was an albino armadillo that your uncle Marc saw :)
WOW, i didn't know you had armadillos in your back yard. We have possums that come out at night and Buster will go chase them. They look like big rats. YUCK!! Thanks for all your interesting information
love

I want you to know that Grandpa Robert and I bought orange Home Depot grocery bags so that we now longer need to use so many plastic bags at the grocery store. You are a good influence on us.
Sometimes we forget our orange bags and have to use the plastic ones, but many times we are using the Home Depot bags and helping keep the trash down.
I think that one reason that we don't have pet armadillos is that they smell bad.
I have heard that they would make just as good weather forecasters as groundhogs, so that in Texas we should use armadillos instead of that old groundhog up in New England.
An armadillo couldn't do any worse than he does.
