Answer: Very carefully because they scare easily. The pink fairy armadillo when startled, will burrow into the dirt within seconds.

That's a line from a Flanders and Swan number.

Walk three miles along the shoulder of any highway in the south!

Bring a shovel...

lol but I think she's in Ohio - not too many armadills there I didnt think.

Your collection would probably start to smell after a bit...

Lol - not real ones of course. Stuffed animals and pins primarily - I have since I was a kid. Granted, my collection consists of maybe 10 items altogether.

I have a HUGE stuffed one I got on the riverwalk on San Antonio. Named him Zuni for the Zuni Grill - because we sat outside at a table on the patio, drinking cactus margaritas, with the armadillo sitting in his own char - and they even gave him his own margarita! He was quite the crowd stopper.

The Riverwalk is a lot of fun - I remember how wonderful and fresh the salsa was at the restaurants along the walk. Very cool that Zuni got his own margarita - hope you helped him finish it.

Tracym

Oh you bet I did - those cactus margaritas are terrific. And really pretty purple.

Actually, I have a recipe for those rattling around somewhere - the homemade ones were yummy too.
