Our garden is beside the woods so they can fly under the fence and be gone in an instant. They also have good eyesight and can see us in the kitchen windows when we are peeking out. Something has moved in under our old shed beside the garden and we don't know what it is. The garden has not been touched yet...but we are concerned.<br /><br />I have no advice to give you because they are horrible creatures! Be warned because they can dig under foundations and cause structural damage.<br />Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-12880456052063115322019-06-02T18:13:03.281-05:002019-06-02T18:13:03.281-05:00Oh, wow, aren't you glad you live where you co...Oh, wow, aren't you glad you live where you could shoot! I live in town...neighbors on every side of me. The guy behind us across the alley has an 'shed'...the floor is a few inches off the ground. There is a groundhog that has lived there for at least 3 years. Last year it tried to dig under our old garage, and had tried to dig under our big garage. It only dug a little bit at the back of the big garage, but on the side of the old garage, it really dug a hole. And came back this year and started, but nothing like last year. And I am saying 'it' but it is probably a totally different ground hog. There is another one lives across the street. And then one block east of us is the railroad. A neighbor owns a lot close to it, and was trying to raise a garden back there, but ground hogs and coons destroy everything he grows.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-74807621937385486322016-11-22T18:45:16.640-06:002016-11-22T18:45:16.640-06:00No worries at all, my friend.

There are cartoon characters that are much scarier looking and nightmare-inducing than your armadillo picture- haha. ;)Dawn- Blessed Beyond Measurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380049127079259624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-5785292772177717822016-11-22T15:17:44.162-06:002016-11-22T15:17:44.162-06:00Dawn, I do hope your children were not terrified b...Dawn, I do hope your children were not terrified by the picture of the monster. I would hate to cause them to have nightmares.<br />Yes, last night I slept like a ROCK. Not Bill, he still went out and checked since we are not sure we have won the war. If any more appear, I will be sure to whine, I mean blog about it.<br />JeannieJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-31481180081348881922016-11-22T15:12:49.202-06:002016-11-22T15:12:49.202-06:00Oh Dorothy, I had no idea what I was up against. T...Oh Dorothy, I had no idea what I was up against. They are fairly new to Tennessee and I had only seen them dead in the middle of the road (which is where they belong). We wondered if there was a family of them living in the woods behind our house and we were killing different ones. If that is so, there may be more to show up. Bill is still going out at night checking and if I see more holes in the garden, we will start back "dancing". We may have only won one battle not the war.<br /><br />As for the deer magically disappearing in hunting season, we discovered they text each other a warning.<br /><br />JeannieJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-12749532304926389962016-11-22T08:15:13.040-06:002016-11-22T08:15:13.040-06:00Can I just say again how happy I am that I found y...Can I just say again how happy I am that I found your blog!! My kids came in while I was reading this post asking me why I was laughing so much. I am so glad you got that crazy critter!

OMG I ...I loved your descriptions of the big hunt. OMG I don't think I have ever smiled this early in the morning, and before the coffee was ready. Thank goodness we don't have armadillos up here --YET. We have the usual deer, groundhogs, voles, chipmunks, ants, fire ants, japanese beetles, squirrels, cabbage worms, wasps that build in the soil, hornets, but nothing so exotic as an armadillo. All the deer are out taunting us, knowing that hunting season doesn't start until next Monday and then they'll all magically disappear. Time for coffee. Dorothy. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
