I try hard to not hate any living creature...but I fall short when it comes to porcupines. We had another run in on our recent trip. Not a bad one, but it seems clear that Alder has not learned her lesson. The quills you don't get out can be very bad as they travel around inside the dog. I keep my hemostats around my neck on a chain at all times in the North Woods.
Kenny, I'm glad you were able to take care of Miss Ruby in all of those cases.
