Quest for a porcupine...day 1

Hahaha...What the heck? So this is the story of our potential porcupine under our deck


One day. I walked outside and looked under the deck...there was big mounds of dirt and a hole. My first thought was. haha...bears stupid(my dog). Because he likes to lie in cool ground so I assumed it was him.

Fast forward a couple days...I find a bunch of porcupine quills in bear. and I think it was just from me and him walking on the railroad tracks when he was rolling around in the ditch. But the last few days we are finding more. Unless hes escaping to the railroad tracks everyday...it must be coming from somewhere close.

So the thought comes to me....wait a minute...porcupines live in holes....So me and brennan went to the backyard tonight to investigate, the hole definatly couldnt have been dug by bear because it goes like...under a lawn mower. But since porcupines are noctournal we figured me must be out and about doing his porcupine thing and he was nowhere to be seen.

Our adventure continues tomorow when hes fast asleep...perhaps.

I think I might be growing attached to him....if hes even there....if we discover him and isnt killed by brennan...I think I might have to name him..

Which makes me think...if there is...what the crap are we supposed to do to keep it from hurting our dog? Minus killing it...because i dont want to.
