Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | I have five dogs. Four older ones, 3 years, 8 years, 9 years, and 10 years. Then the pup who is 10 weeks.
Of ALL the older dogs, it was the old lazy English Mastiff that came bounding through the woods on our walk today with this.....

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | He is now. He wasn't in this photo. Their shells are hard but they will apparently crack very easily in the jaws of a 130 pound mastiff :) |

Our Cattle Dog is an Armadillo and skunk killing machine but I worry about Rabies so I take her out on a leash at night. I am good at bathing dogs and getting skunk smell out but I sure prefer not to. LOL |

We don't let them mess with raccoons, possums, or birds if we can help it. |

Kind of like the people that don't like it when people kill the little feral piggies.
Knew someone in the outskirts of San Antonio that would boo hoo about it until they did $5,000. damage to his fancy landscape in one night..LOL |

Exactly! That and the idea that I "let" my dog kill another animal....
Not only did I let her, I encouraged her :) |

Location: In my own world | I live just a little farther north of you Tiff. Just across the MO river. They are not a regular occurrence here. I think I've seen 2 in my life. Mostly in the last 10 yrs. There are probably more than I care to know about. I hope they stay south. They are destructive. Right along with them little piggies!! |

Location: west of East Texas | Armadillos might be at the top of my hit list. They got under my previous house so bad my foundation cracked. Their tunnels and holes made my pasture too dangerous to ride in. When we moved to this place they were EVERYWHERE. Thankfully, for about two years, we had a very proficient team of 'dillo dogs. The Jack Russell would go underground, flush the armadillo out. The Great Dane would be waiting. One chomp and the shell would crack in two and the varmint was dead. We would have to pick up the shells before we mowed. The population was wiped out pretty good fairly quick. |
