Best armadillo chaser I ever had was named Sparky. He would harry them until they stuck their head in a hole, then hold them by the tail till I got there with the shotgun. As soon as I grabbed the tail, he'd let go and back off. *whump* is the sound a .410 shotgun makes in an armadillo-filled hole in the ground.

My granddaddy named all the dogs. They were all Lady, Sparky, Sugarboy, Shep....you know, "dog" names. The first time I heard of a dog with a person's name, I thought it was hilarious. Now the so-called "dog" names sound wrong.
