We've never seen a porcupin, a live one that is. After 30 + minute of dogs barking in the neighborhood, our dogs want to go out. BARK BARK FUKIN BARK. Wife says there's a vehicle in the neighbors yard. Go investigate , find out what every dog is going crazy over. Seems neighbors dog jumped fence, had porcupine trapped under truck. Along with a snout and front paws full of needles. Dog is rescued All is quiet FINALLY.
28 years in this house , foxes rabbits, couple of nesting hawks &eagles. Not to mention skunks. Except for the two our last pups dismantled violating sovergin land. No more skunks, down side were two dogs soaked like they had been swimming. For 2 weeks they stunk, even after being shaved. Yep they taught those skunks a lesson. Just like neighbors dog showed that porcupine who's boss. OUCH

I used to have a pet wolf, he killed a porcupine. How? Reverse CPR!

Almost hit a mountain lion running (very fast!) across highway yesterday. First live sighting for me ever. Man what a beautiful animal!

My oh have some boring dreams old man

OK sleepy

Looks like he's worked some of them out. Our friend who's lived here 60 yrs said last porcupine he saw was back in the late 60's early 70's @ horsetooth . So now we go pest hunting

Oh, that poor dog. I have had to pull cactus spines out of a dog before, must be similar.

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.
