I came home last night and my two dogs were sitting by the door as normal. The older dog came to greet me but the younger one stayed out in the distance. This is very unusual for her as she usually almost jumps in my truck. I went into the house and the dogs followed. It wasn't until a few minutes late that I realized what was wrong. The younger dog had her first encounter with a porcupine.
I have been taking quills out of dogs for a long time but with a younger dog it is the headlights in the eyes look when they first encounter the porcupine. After a small wrestling match, a spilled glass of wine and almost knocking over the Christmas tree, I had the quills out and had a very happy and humbled young dog.
There is no point to this story except that I though it was funny.
Too bad about the wine. ;-)
