Dogs, huh? ROFLMAO!

I'm laughing, only because it wasn't MY dog this time. Mine somehow manage to get cow poop all over them. I don't think they know where poop comes from... I love Roy's ears, too! That one picture, she looks like she's waiting (with bated breath) to hear the most important word ever. :) And...

Someone butchered a cow (or bull, judging by the size) somewhere close by and tossed out the parts they didn't want. Conan found them. He's brought all four of them back now. They are his special treasures, LOL! The legs are all sawn cleanly just below the knee, so it wasn't a natural death...

That makes it sound like maybe he was dropped off and he's hoping his previous owner will come back for him. That is so heartbreaking. I hope he finds what he needs at your place and settles in to become a wonderful family dog for you.

He's beautiful. And young. His face says "puppy." Lost puppy, which breaks my heart.

You could try this, too, if you have a little extra time. Just sit somewhere quietly, near him, for 10 minutes or so, with some kind of treat. Keep your back to him at first, and just let him approach at his own pace. When he gets close, give him the treat and say good boy in a soft voice...

Awww, the look on his face in that last picture pretty much sums him up. He's timid/submissive, but wants to be friends. He's just afraid, and needs some time to become comfortable around his new situation. Our male LGD has that same expression, and he's the sweetest dog to ever walk on four...

I'd prolly just catch our cats then. Or a curious guinea or chicken. I'm hoping this guy was a loner.

It was certainly a surprise to me. The only times I've ever seen a porcupine, it was waddling slowly across the ground. I had no idea they're agile enough to climb trees. Maybe "agile" is the wrong word. According to the one site I read, their quills have an antibiotic in the tip because...

And now for The Rest of the Story: I found this yesterday: That is a HUGE porcupine 20 feet up in the big elm tree out front. I never heard any dogs barking, so I don't know why he's up that tree, but whatever. Hubby went out and dispatched him, and he's currently in a box in the shop (out...

Hey, look! Dogs with no beards! It's been over a week now. Either they finally figured out porcupines are painful, or the porcupine finally ran out of quills. :ROFLMAO: Now they're back to Keeping America Beautiful. My own personal road-kill cleanup crew... who needs vultures? That...

I've always heard that, about cutting them off to let the air out, but the vet said never cut them. Something about it being harder to grasp and pull, and greater possibility of breaking or splitting. I've always pulled them out without cutting (simply because I didn't want to have to touch...

Thanks for the ideas! I looked up Tri-Solfen, and only found ONE site, in Australia, that mentions it, so it's probably local to Oz. I do have one more set of sedative injections, but I'll see if I can't get some kind of lidocaine type thing I can use for any future episodes. I had a horrid...

Yes, Faith. 30 miles outside Faith, actually, but being literally in the middle of nowhere, Faith is our post office. I have acepromazine, and I did use a dose of that on the other dog when she got quilled, although I don't think it did much more than make her a little loopy. She still felt...

They're LGDs, not house dogs. I don't have crates for them. Wouldn't that pretty much negate their function? There are lots of vets in South Dakota. The next closest one is 100 miles away. Same problem with getting them in (I already called, but I'm a "new client" to them, so at the bottom...

We have a porcupine. We also have a couple of REALLY stupid dogs. Maggie (Akbash female) got quilled several times, but there weren't very many each time, and I was able to get them out with some effort. Mind you, it's just me trying to hold a squirming dog with one hand and work pliers with...

Conan is just shy of 7 months old now, and has caught up to Maggie in size. He's going to be a teeny bit (LOL!) bigger than her when he finally tops out. Here they are playing a couple weeks ago (arguing over possession of a weed I'd pulled, go figure...). Conan's on the right in both...

I love all the pictures of Roy, what a little bug she is! 🥰 Thanks also for the pics of Crater Lake. I miss that area so much. We used to hike around there a lot. And the beach. I can still remember my last visit before we moved. I made hubby stay until after sunset so I could see just one...

My sweet little Conan: He's losing his baby teeth now and getting his Big Dog toofers in. All the upper and lower incisors are replaced, and three of his puppy canines are out now with little stubs of BIG canines coming in. I know his teeth are sore because he keeps chewing on my shirt...

After two nights of being locked in the garage at night, which he HATED, Conan got to stay out with the Big Dogs last night. Guess where he slept? Yup, in the garage! LOL! Well, he knows it's safe, and it's out of the weather. We had some more thunder-bumpers and rain last night, but...
