Don't fight with a porcupine!



Meet Gus. He and the German Shepherd, Gunner, met a porcupine a few weeks ago. I'm disappointed we didn't get pictures of Gunner. He was in much worse shape. So bad, that we took him to the vet emergency room that evening. $325 later, he was perfectly fine.

Gus suffered an extra day, however. The boys and my husband managed to confine him in such a way that they were able to pull the quills out with pliers. Poor Gus. But they are both as good as new, now. Ready to take on the world - again.

I get extreme pleasure from seeing all three of our dogs out running the fields, chasing rabbits or birds, and just being free. They are our buddies!
