"You know you missed your father's funeral... by eight years."

I'm having a blood pressure problem today. What with the QUILLS in my dog's NOSE driving us both crazy. The smart dog too. The dog that learned his lesson about porcupines last year. That one has tiny pins and needles sticking out of his damn nose and he's not too pleased about me removing them. I have broken all the dog owning rules and have resorted to drugging him with half a pain pill from his nut surgery last year. I'm at the end of my tether with these damn porcupines. It is entirely possible that the bastard left them in something else and no porcupine was actually involved but if we were talking about squirrels we wouldn't need pliers and nut drugs and vodka in my coke.

I'm so done with the outdoors right now I can't even tell you.

Sorry you're having to deal with that. And people wonder why I'm content without a pet, lol.

LOL, sounds tough.

It's rare the scale of dog ownership leans toward the sucky instead of the awesome but it's the sucky that gets the most attention. I have to work on my positive attitude I guess!

Matt has promised to shoot them all for me so that's positive...errr

Er... was he more specific than "shoot them all"? Who them? Hopefully the porcupines and not the dogs or squirrels or vodka bottle.

quill pigs, as matt calls them, are the subject of his campaign of violence. bullets are cheaper than vet bills...

Hell, diamond necklaces are cheaper than vet bills. Quoth the woman with a dog who's had chronic allergies for the past 4 years.
