It’s a full blown tunnel, and it goes under the shed. The holes are about 5 inches in diameter, and have no mound around them. The holes are about 3 yards apart, and one is inside the shed. The entrance is a kind of L shape, with a curved point. Beyond that I can’t see. We live in Texas, so it might be an armadillo. We have a dog, but since it’s a tunnel, I doubt he made it. Can someone please help me?
…I once, when I was 8, playing with my collie dog, Scamp, in the hills north of Austin, catchin’ crawfish, frogs, and turtles; and carryin’ shiny rocks home in my pockets…I found a mamma armadillo with 4 little cute babies…the mamma and 3 of the babies followed her down the hole…but, one little cute baby armadillo (only about 4 inches long) was soooo happy snufflin’ in the leaves and didn’t notice his family left…until I petted him…. He was so soft and cute and adorable. I have pet oppossums, snakes, squirrels, flying squirrels, rats, cats, dogs, bats, raccoons, weasles, chinchillas, sugar gliders, …many critters…but, that little armadillo was so cute.
Last night my dog attacked a three banded armadillo in Texas. Armadillos can carry leprosy. Look it up if you doubt me. Could my dog be at risk for contracting the disease? I know humans can contract leprosy from armadillos but could my dog? Or could he be a carrier for the disease and thereby expose my family to danger?

Ive recently starting biking with my dog, Ive been using a collar and I think it works fine. But Ive been hearing a lot about using a harness instead. I usually don’t use harnesses when walking/biking, cause It gives my dog more power to pull, and that could be bad while biking lol.
If my dog sees a squirrel or armadillo, she gets pretty focused, with the collar im able to give her a quick snap out of it. I’m afraid I cant do that with a harness.
What do you suggest?
There is an armadillo in my backyard and I have a dog who “go’s ” in the same yard!
I have never owned a cat before. Today, the dog killed a rabbit and gave it to the cat to eat. Is it okay for her to eat them or can it cause her to get sick? What about squirrels, rats, chipmunks, turtles and armadillos? The dog kills those too.
The dog is only decimating the wildlife in her own yard, the rest would be left up to the bobcats and coyotes. It is a rural area.
In the Philippines, dog meat is eaten just like frog, rabbit, armadillo, snake or other exotic meat here in the US. I’m half filipino, but I’ve never tried it when I visited there. I hear that it can enhance your performance… a friend told me he does, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true. Just wondered.
bowb4… isn’t there a NY steak on a dog, haha? yo… i’m talkin about the benefits of uhh… eating dog meat, not what you eat, depending on standard of living, but i hear you. some people actually like the taste of dog meat, but like i say i’ve never tried it. okay?…
