Close Encounters of the First Kind |

The second time Rowdy spotted
a porcupine, I was right there. He dove into the bushes and attacked it. I tried to get him to come to me but he was too focused on revenge. This time he ended up with quills in his face, paws, chest tongue, roof of his mouth and in his nose. The porcupine while a little more naked than he started out, but was none the worse
for wear.
Ok, this year, Rowdy and
Sadie found a baby porcupine in the woods. I saw them spot it so I was able to get right there, it took a couple of shouts but I was able to get Rowdy
to leave it and I got a leash on him. Sadie got a few quills in her nose and
decided right away that porcupine harassing was not as much fun as she thought. The
baby was totally unharmed. This time I pulled most of them out myself right there
and with the help of a pair of tweezers, pulled the rest of them out of both dogs at home.
Rowdy still has not learned to stay away from porcupines, but he did let me call him off so does that qualify as smarter?
