... Porcupine lesson #1 !! Damn. The roof of her mouth stopped them from sinking in deep. When I was a kid I read that porcupine quills only come out when twisting counterclockwise while pulling with pliers 🧐 It worked 💪 ML

jon_c_manning Lol the last pic! That's a "I fucked up dad" look for if I've ever seen one. Glad she is alright, having our kids get hurt are heart breaking.
limabravokilo Dang it
falloutranger Face full of spines and looks happy as a clam lol. Animals are a trip
ladandadog1619 @laruetactical get yourself a pair of locking hemostats. Theyre the only tool that works well. Theyre what the vets use

stroutyaf_ Dogs do the dumbest shit but still always look so damn happy about it😂😂
tyrelsackett777 I've been in that situation before. It always amazes me that some dogs don't learn to avoid Porcupines after the first encounter. 😄
  -  laruetactical @tyrelsackett777 ... Rats, I hate hearing that. Maybe they don't put 2 & 2 together. "Just as I had the sumbitch, something hid in the dirt bit me."
byrontabor Poor pup!
hank_das_tank60 Cut the ends off before pulling the air inside the quills escapes. Way easier
brandon_6xc My Labrador went after a skunk once while hunting pheasant in South Dakota needless to say it was a long windy drive back to Florida. She got sprayed right in the face and front chest. The smell stayed for nearly a month.
  -  laruetactical @brandon_6xc ... Ms. Porcupine developed skunk skills when she was young. Knows how to duck and dodge the skunk's spray while still having herself some fun. 😂 1 like

bcm9463 Poor pup. I remember pulling quills on my dogs. Never an easy job.
keavsman If you get some tough ones cut the end of the quill. They're full of air and will shrivel up
teenis22 Good dog.
_capt_obvious Had a Aussie that never learned her lesson with porcupines. She bit into three of them. Quills went in so deep we had to go to the vet all three times.
bwestlake78 Had to sedate one of my dogs to remove them once , there were so many. I wish I had counted. They were everywhere. Less than a week later, the dumbass did it again.

jmflor1no If you snip the ends off the quills the barbs on the end will straighten and make them easier to pull out.
bredfearn79 You ever shoot porcupines with big rifles? I'm wondering if they explode like prairie dogs.
