I assume the new neighbors next door? If it was the stupid chocolate lab, next to the yellow house, that barked all day I would have been rooting for the porcupine.

New ones. Interesting, she said she was going to knock on our door because she knew we had a gun to shoot it.

Based on the locals we informed that owned dogs. Not one of them has ever seen a porcupine.
Yes it can be a hassle since they hibernate. However i doubt i would shoot it unless it was in our yard, or someone else and the dogs had gotten hold of it. Not in the mood to kill something that's rarely seen, alive. Yet.

OUCH !!!Give him some NoQuill before bed.

Well...I thought it was funny!

Likewise. I was this close > < to posting some useless video but i'll wait. Till the OP does something to piss me off.

Too bad you don't have a suppressed lever gun in .38. That would be a perfect problem solver.

Porcupine quills are quite a task to remove. Its a good idea to at least inspect and make sure none of the quills are headed in a direction that will put them in a dangerous part of the dog's head.

Depending on how you feel about it, a vet might be a good idea.

Neighbors dog who barks & stays out all night, and jumps fences. Hoping this is a wake up call for owner and dog.

Ah, not your dog. My error.

Go give that porcupine a pumpkin. They like them apparently.

I didn't realize they were that uncommon here, back home (MN) they're fricken everywhere. I had a dog growing up that loved to fight and found them around the house fairly regularly. I'd come home from school and find him sitting on the porch waiting for me with a face full of quills. I'd get the pliers, and he'd sit there without complaint and let me pull them out. If I missed any, the next day he'd come and lay at my feet and give me a WTF look.

That was adorable. You could have your neighbor get an African Leopard.

Wife and I saw one up close at the rest area near No Name on I-70. Was within 10 feet of us and the picnic table we were sitting at, just grazing around. Very cool looking critter, and we had no camera with us.. Saw this one in Eastern CO in a tree alongside US36.
