It’s okay if they’re hitchhiking, right?
The Sisters were driving to pick up lunch when Neil Young came on the radio leading to a discussion on armadillos.
Don’t ask.
Since the Sisters will be driving to San Antonio next month, they are kicking around the idea of picking up an armadillo. Discussion ensued about what they eat (according to Amylynn, it is definitely not Chipotle but some type of bugs and such), whether one can be happily kept in a hotel tub, how does one coax an armadillo into a pet carrier, and are they best kept in pairs?
There was also some talk about the undesirable fact that they sometimes have leprosy and/or e coli. We figured we stock up on Lysol and baby wipes. We are nothing if not responsible.
That’s what everyone says. “Those Quill Sisters are so responsible.”
Texas is hot like our desert home so we think our weather will be okay for our new “kids”. We’re going to put them in pajamas and berets. If we get two, as planned, their names will be Sven and Hans.
Clearly, some research is in order.
Hmm. e. Coli you can work around with good handwashing. Not sure I’d be willing to risk leprosy for the sake of an exotic pet, though. I know it’s not very contagious, but still . . .
Oh, Killian. Ye of little faith. There’s antibiotics for that now. Besides, nobody needs all their toes.
It’s certainly a distinctive pet that no one else has and that will set you apart from other pet owners…. I personally find them ugly (and not in a so ugly it’s cute way either) but you could center a whole YouTube show around their adventures which might be fun.
We’d like you to send us a notarized letter with your approving comments that we can show our husbands. And maybe our lawyer.
Interesting animal
