**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Rural Florida has lots of armadillos….. They’re not just limited to the countryside…they bumble their way into suburbia too….. …..but there are a lot more of the little dudes in the country….. When horseback riding…you have to watch for the holes dug by armadillos…along with the ones made by gopher tortoises (tortoises that’s a hard word to spell)–(I’m sad to say…I relied on SpellCheck)….. Armadillos seem to be happy in their little armadillo-world…that…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Terriers come in many shapes & sizes…big & small…fuzzy or sleek….. The one consistency…is that they are all neurotic…neurotic with a fixated-purpose…but neurotic non-the-less….. …..all teeth…emotionally sensitive…too much brain-power…and far too driven by impulsive behaviors….. …..as a breed-type…I’m surprised they’ve survived….. …..they’re their own worst enemy…..

Oooooooohhhhh…..Terriers….. They are in a category all their own….. …..all their very own….. My older daughter’s Jack Russell is typical where “Terriers” are concerned….. …..he warrants a clothesline & a chain snapped to his harness whenever he goes outside….. …..otherwise he gnaws through it….. …..and after he’s finished gnawing through it….. …..he wanders…..and roams…..and vagabonds…..or basically just runs away….. …..things to do…..people to see…..treats to beg…..

Tra!  La! Today is Ground Hog Day Eve… Punxsutawney Phil will be very busy… I grew up cheek & jowl close to Pennsylvania…….so Ground Hog Day is a biggie for me… …..well, that and the fact that it’s another chance for a party (with mediocre Bourbon)… ………………….but we don’t have Ground Hogs in sub-tropical Florida………………… We don’t have many burrowing animals here in general……. …..maybe that’s because we are so close to sea-level (at the best of times)…….and their little…
