I had a new experience the other night. My dogs started barking at 1:30 in the morning, so I got up to see what it was all about. I went outside with a flashlight and a stick and found an armadillo on my patio behind the dog's water bowl. I took the stick and prodded the armadillo with it and to my surprise it jumped about 4 ft in the air, then landed in the dog's water, jumped again and took off running. Anyway, I was able to corral the armadillo out of the yard without the dogs getting ahold of it.

It really surprised me to see an armadillo jump like that, I never knew that was in them.
