The place I'm moving to this fall has a herd of moose that call the area home & my friend & I chased off a porcupine on Sunday. We displaced it because she breeds Boxers & the porky was setting up shop under her tent trailer, next to where she sets up her puppy pen in the summer. The dog who found it was the mum of her current litter actually. Lucky for all concerned that the porky was bedded down in a spot under the trailer that Vala couldn't get to because she wanted that rodent something fierce. She was the only one out of four dogs to get any quills, lucky for us only in six got barely hooked into her left ear. We chased Porky off the property, across the road & out into the field so he wouldn't feel like coming back later.
