Seriously? Leprous armadillos? There's definitely a song in there somewhere…

I didn't catch the leprosy part (

), being so dialed in to the cuteness...

But yes, a definite deterrent to having pet armadillo babies living in the garden!!

I can't come up with any armadillo lyrics, at the moment, but about bunnies & other plant munchers, a little Hall & Oats

They only come out at night
The mean and hungry type
Nothing new, I've seem 'em here before
Tasting and eating
Leaving their poo
And they're gonna chew some more

Oh oh here they come
Watch out plants, they eat you up
Oh oh here they come
They're the plant eaters

Good one Tiffany!

Zoia, yes, armadillos can carry leprosy. I'm a retired family practice physician with a BS in Wildlife Management. That was covered in my "Wildlife Diseases" class, and again in med school.

Doobie Brothers tonight, in honor of gardeners gardening and gardens growing during heat waves everywhere.

________________

Well I planted a garden, it's already growin'.
Those fresh tomatoes are callin' my name.
Dahlias are bloomin', the melons are too, an',
Can't hardly wait until harvest has come!

Oh cool water, keep it coming!
That hot Kentucky sun just keeps burning down on me.

I've got another take on a 3 Dog Night song

Joy to the world, the newest leaf unfurled
Joy to ambitious and big new leaves
Joy to yew and me

I'm not familiar with that song, but that's almost a haiku.
