A What?

This morning at about 4:00, one of our dogs was outside barking like crazy. I checked on him, just figuring he was barking at one of the many critters we have around here. He settled down, but I was never able to go back to sleep.

Fast forward to tonight...Marc came back into the house after he finished mowing the yard. He told me he had found the most interesting thing in the back yard...an armadillo. A what? An armadillo! 

It has burrowed down at the base of our foundation, right near the pipes running into the bathroom. How on earth do these kinds of things keep happening to us?

So, Marc tried to "remove" it, but the armadillo was having none of it. So, we still have an armadillo in our yard. We're just going to wait a few hours and see if it decides to leave. Hopefully, it has somewhere else to be!

Update: Our "visitor" has left the yard!
