Can anyone inturpret this dream?

Please interpret this dream. I was at this thing with my family. We were meeting ALOT of celebrities. I walked back a little ways and met Billy Ray Cyrus. I said “Oh my gosh! You’re Billy Ray Cyrus! I LOVE you! Can I ask you a question?” Then he said. “You’ll find the answer if you answer me. What would an armadillo be if it lost it’s shell?” “I don’t know.” “Bye.” I was mad. Oh, and the question I was gonna ask him was, why did Nick and Miley break up? Anyhow, I walked back a little more and saw Taylor swift talking to Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, The Jonas Brothers and a few others, around a big Bonn fire. I said, “Taylor Swift! I LOVE you! You ROCK! I was talking to my friends about coming here and I have to get your autograph for one of them.” So she signed a picture of herself then asked “Now what about you?” “OH. Just a hug and to hang out with you for a little while. I love to sing.” “Cool. Sit down.” I sat down in between her and Nick Jonas. And he kept starring at me. Taylor let me sing then I woke up. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

Where can I get a pet armadillo?

I live in New Zealand and my family is wealthy, so I can afford this. I want to build an armadillo house with sand and heated things where they can dig and play in my backyard, and I can feed them. Are armadillos friendly? what do they eat and how much space will they need to excersize and most importantly, where can I get an armadillo?
I do have a cat.

Can dogs contract or transmit leprosy from armadillos?

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?

Mystery Animal?

Okay, so a few weeks back I saw a documentary on an animal that I thought looked amazing, and I’ve been trying to show this animal to my family. Its sort of small and looks “reptilian”. It reminds me of a porcupine except with hard plates instead of needles, or a armadillo maybe. Then when I looked in Highlights at the dentists office a while back, I saw him in their too. I cannot remember the name though for the life of me. I know they are endangered. It starts with a P or a Q, I think….. Any Ideas?

What do you think about armadillo races at the reception?

Let me start by saying I am from Tx and proud of it. His family are all from Ohio and have never seen an armadillo in thier lives…heck he has only seen them run over.

I found a company that does armadillo races for parties. I thought it would be a fun, unique activity during cocktail hour instead of the usual slideshow to break the ice and a great novelty for my Yankee guests. Afterwards the armadillos are available for people to look at/pet but are otherwise put away.

I would do it at the rehersal dinner but many of them will not be there since they are coming from out of town.

They are dipped in seasoned coating mix and baked to make a great appetizer. Ingredients (for 12 half-eggs): 6 jalapeno peppers, washed and dried with paper towel 1/4 to 1/3 pound ground pork sausage 1/4 to1/2 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese 12 small cubes sharp Cheddar cheese (about 3/8-inch on a side) 1/2 package (5.5-oz.) seasoned coating mix for pork cooking oil spray Cut off stem end of jalapenos. Then, cut in half lengthwise. Remove the pulp and seeds and discard. Mix 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese together with the ground pork sausage. Place about 1/12 of the sausage mixture into each pepper half. Dip stuffed sides of peppers in coating mix. Place, stuffed sides up, in an ovenproof baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Arrange on a serving platter, and serve with taco sauce, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, or any favorite spread or dip.
