Muskwa tried to eat a porcupine :(

[Glacier]

Unfortunately, this is not Muskwa's first porcupine encounter, more like his 10th. It is unlikely to be his last. Porcupines from some reason thrive in the North!

The quills are all out now, I think. They do have a tendancy to pop out days, even weeks later. He's moving slowly, but I think he's just sore. He ate tonight(he didn't last night).

Muskwa is the smartest dog I've ever met, about everything, except porkies!

TEN previous Porkie Encounters?

I'd think anything "smarter" than a STONE would have learned to avoid
a Quilled Creature after TEN run-ins!

Does he need glasses?

My vet swears that if he sees a dog twice for quills, he will see them a third, fourth..... If a dog doesn't learn the first time, they won't. Unfortunately, avoiding porkies is pretty tricky up here...we've had them right at the fence line and my neighbor's dog got a facefull of quills while confined in his own yard!
