My husband left for work before me this morning, so he let Boomer and Buddy out to go Potty. About an hour later he called from his cell phone to make sure that I had gotten up. Half way through my phone call, I rolled over in the bed and saw Buddy with porcupine quills sticking out of his nose and mouth. My husband hadn't turned the lights on this morning, so he didn't even notice the quills, and Buddy just came back up stairs to sleep with me and didn't even whine, after he came in from outside. I pulled about 10 of them out, before he wouldn't let me pull anymore. They weren't in really deep, but I bet they really hurt. I took him to the vet this morning and they sedated him and took them out. He isn't really feeling to good this evening. He's really groggy, moving slow, and he vomited on the ride home. I hate seeing him like this, I can't wait til he gets back to his old self. Hubby says that he had better not see that porcupine or he will be history. I hope it doesn't come around again, and I hope Buddy will stay away if he ever sees one again. I hope he wont be like my mom's westie Chloe. She has wrestled with a skunk about 4-5 times now.
