First moose, now porcupines. What's next?

Patti · 05-13-2007, 04:17 PM

Wow that is amazing. And start writing it will be a bestseller. When you come to Chicago to be on Oprah's book club I can get Jack and Eddie's pawtagraphs!

LuvMySissy · 05-13-2007, 04:20 PM

Moose, hawks and porcupines!!! What next?!! Definitely the makings of a "Eddie and Jack's Adventures in Alaska" book.

Dog books are extremely popular! Pet lovers love the stories and photos! That's a very good idea, and I know it would sell. Like the Marley book, and he's even written a childrens' series of picture books about Marley's explotes.

You have great stories, adventures, and pictures. . . definate buy/read! Finding a publisher wouldn't be difficult at all.

Great looking porcupine. That poor dog, my gosh, I didn't realize how dangerous those quills could be.

Bama Yorkie Mom · 05-13-2007, 04:38 PM

I've never been around one but i've heard how they stick those quills out and you cant hardly get them out. that one looked like he/she had a lots of quills too. I hope he dont even hang around there. Better keep and eye out before Eddie and Jack run out and up to it. ouch.

aww, that poor pitt bull! how ugly!! Is it true that porky needles keep going into your skin farther and father? We one time had a porky in our shed. never seen one live before then. Hopefully he never meets with Jack or Eddie, or you may be visiting the vet!!

I read one article that said they're scaly under a microscope, so perhaps they would work their way in a little bit. Ouch. The same article said you can safely remove a few from your dog with a pliars, but if they have as many as that pit bull a vet should anesthetize him.

I suppose you haven't heard of :

Marley and Me
Messages From Jamie
Little Dog & Duncan
Foxy's Tale
Bandit
The Blessing Of The Animals
I Am Shadow
Shep: Our Most Loyal Dog
Hachiko
The Diary Of Jinky
The Bravest Dog Ever
The Dogs Who Grew Me
Java
With A Little Faith
Angel Dogs
Dogs...Made Easy (my own two Yorkies, Zada and Azrael are in this book)
For The Love Of A Dog

I think the best selling books ARE ones in which are true stories, so get out your pen and pad and start writing.

Dina_Nichole · 05-13-2007, 05:19 PM

WOW, those are amazing pics!! Be careful

tjdmom · 05-13-2007, 05:26 PM

I used to have a husky who would tangle with the porcupines every so often but he'd only wind up with a half dozen or a dozen quills. They are incredibly hard to pull out. We tried once - they're almost like having a hook stuck in you. We wound up taking him to the vet to have them removed. From what I understand they will actually work the way in over time and that's when they can really do some damage. My husky didn't seem to learn either - got hit several different times. Our other dogs never had a problem with them. They are kinda cute though - the porcupines.

daisy mae06 · 05-13-2007, 05:43 PM

WOW neat and scary too. We have one at the Zoo. But If I walked out and saw that I would freak!
