Dukee decided that he was ready for bed so he hopped down from Mia’s litter box cabinet.
“See ya later,” He said to Mia.
“Goodnight,” She said.
Dukee walked down the hallway and into his bedroom. Auntie was on the bed watching television. He took a few nibble’s of his food and was about to jump up onto the bed when he heard a sound outside the window. He hopped up onto the stool by the window, and there he saw an strange looking, small creature wearing armor. It was nosing around the grass and digging in different areas.
This little creature is called an armadillo… click here to see one. Dukee has seen them before where he used to live but this is the first time here. He watched it as it dug around in the grass hunting for bugs.
Mia heard Mom in the kitchen so she walked in there to see what she was doing. Mom was washing out Mia’s breakfast bowl. She was getting it ready for the morning. After Mom put the bowl on the dining room table, she went to her bedroom. Mia started to follow her to their room when Dukee hopped down off the stool and trotted out of his room.
“Hey, if you hurry you might be able to see a creature that I don’t think you’ve seen before out of your window,” Dukee said to Mia.
Mia rushed into her bedroom and jumped up onto the window sill. Sure enough, the armadillo slowly walked around the corner of the house and right in front of Mia’s window. She watched how it dug it’s nose into the grass in search of something to eat. Mom was curious and looked out the window to see what Mia was watching. Mia looked up at Mom and meowed. Mom pet her on the head and climbed into bed.
Dukee walked back into his bedroom and jumped up onto the bed. He meowed at Auntie and then laid down. After a few enjoyable pets, he settled his head down to go to sleep.
The armadillo walked around and dug in a few places, then disappeared past the back screen porch. Mia watched it as long as she could see it. When she couldn’t see it anymore, she jumped from the window sill to the bed. Mom sleeps on that side of the bed so Mia landed on part of Mom’s foot. Sorry Mom, Mia thought. Mom just pulled her feet closer to her body. Mia did a small turnaround, laid down, and closed her eyes.
