    Hey there!

    Thanks for marking me as a friend on spicypage (Ozz). Wow. that is a scary pic. My dog once had bee stings the size of tennis balls all over her face! Gotta dig that pic up and post it! :)

    Great site!

    Jackqueline,
    thanks for visiting. Yes, it is pitiful isn't it. That had to be miserable for your dog too with bee stings that large. I always worry when my 2 dogs snap at bees that fly by them-it can be so dangerous!
    thanks again

    Oh my goodness! I wince every time I look back at the picture...I wonder if it'll leave scars...?

    That is awful!!! I didn't know that would happen! How terrible! How is he now? Will he have scars? That is one sad dog!

    Joanne, Starbuck & Torrey,
    Kevin says the dog had to have 243 stitches, but survived and is doing fine now.

    i could feel the pain by looking at the pic, poor doggie .

    wildcatsthree said...

    Yes I know. I had 2 shots of this dog, and the front-on one was just too painful to post. This shot is sad enough. Luckily he is doing fine now. Bet he never goes near another porcupine!
    Thanks for visiting.

    I had no idea that would happen with an encounter with a porcupine we do not have them here in Indiana.That has to hurt to the max, the poor dog.

    I hope the dog has learned a lesson to stay away.

    Steve,
    I didn't have any idea a porcupine could spread so many quills so close together. It had to have been very painful for the dog, poor thing.

    goodness !!!!
    so many stitches.....poor thing.....good to hear that he has recovered.....I'd say he learnt his lesson the hard way re porcupines

    Kim,
    Yes, I'd say it was definitely a hard lesson learned.
