It's been awhile, but I guess overdue, that one of the dogs would get up close and personal with a porcupine. Today, it was Monkey. We were riding with Phoenix and a group of four dogs. Monkey immediately came over for help. I dismounted and removed the quills. But, not before taking a couple of pictures to show his Mom and Dad! Poor Monkey! He was very patient while I removed them. The other dogs just got muddy, then wet and finally tired.

Freya you got mud on your face, a big disgrace, somebody better put you back into the lake!
By using this leash and leading Phoenix, we can all get to the trailhead safely.
