Muskwa tried to eat a porcupine :(

Good thing you guys were prepared. Do you always take pliers?

Always. Even if I'm only going to the lake behind the house, I have pliers with me. Some of the dogs aren't as cooperative with pulling the quills as Muskwa, but I always have the tools to do it! It was a fluke that I had a pain pill with me. I meant to give it to Goldie before I left the yard, but I forgot it in my pocket. It worked out though as Muskwa probably needed it more than Goldie!

If he's still limping in a couple days, I'll take him to the vet. He's probably due for an "old dog" check up anyway.

Ouch! Poor Muskwa. Hope he feels better soon!!

Ouch! Is Muskwa's motto "If at first you don't succeed..."?

Awww, poor Muskwa! Gonzo sympathizes. He got sprayed by his umpteenth skunk a few weeks ago... for the third time this year alone!!!! That is an unbelievable PITA, so I can only imagine how scary/annoying/painful it is to get stuck with 100 quills.

The meanies don't understand that you sweet boys just want to cuddle with them. Right, right?

I am eternally grateful that we don't have any skunks in the Yukon. My dogs would be stinky all the time!!
