Reminder that there's dog food ready to pick up at Shopko whenever you want to get it. I don't know if you saw my post from last night. I was kind of loopy on Ambien at the time and may have acted prematurely, but whatever. The order number is 946178.

I hope that when you posted, or otherwise informed facebook/radio stations etc you said "come see the guy living in a camper in a field to get your dog back". Or just "come see the guy that burned a jeep last summer".

Dogemeat gonna doge. Take her to the vet or rescue shelter even if you're gonna hang out with her, and get someone to give her a flea & tick treatment. You don't need or want fleas & ticks.

DICK DICER posted:I'm about 99% sure one actually did arrive addressed to Truck in A Field I marked mine "ATTN: Truck In Field" just in case the UPS guy tried to deliver it to the actual house, so that's probably the one you remember. Also, you'll have a couple kitchen knives and vaguely cook-for-yourself sorts of things coming along soon. I meant to send them earlier but didn't get to fill the box before a personal trip sidelined it.

I dunno which would be worse (for you anyway, for the dog it's definitely the porcupine)... porcupine or a skunk. A few years back I was in a junkyard, and one of their "guard" dogs walked up to me wagging his tail while I was rear end deep in a parts car.. and dropped a dead skunk at my feet.  I think he wanted me to throw it. Smelled about as fantastic as you'd expect.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I dunno which would be worse (for you anyway, for the dog it's definitely the porcupine)... porcupine or a skunk. The porcupine is the worse case scenario. The quills have to be removed, it hurts them like you wouldn’t believe. My normally friendly husky, my grandfathers sheepdog and my uncles beagle all turned really aggressive when it came time to remove quills. Sometimes sedation is required. And you do have to remove them, they tend to burrow deeper and migrate over time. The skunk, well the dog gets a bath in scent remover and stays outside for a while.

A direct face shot in a confined space (like following the skunk into its den) can overwhelm and kill a dog. ... Is there a way to get little Finnegan a rabies shot and tag/collar?

I'm no expert but those look like maybe hedgehog quills, rather than porcupine. Do they have hedgehogs in nebraska?

Oh my dog Dave this dog has turned this into a dogdamn fairy tail. I swear when I step back and think about your journey, and how now an adorable dogdamn dog is now a part of it who has apparently decided it's gonna stay with you, I can hardly believe it. Dave for president, djdoggo for VP.

I didn't even know there were porcupines in Nebraska! Apparently they're moving east: https://communityenvironment.unl.edu/porcupine-0 In 30 years we'll be overrun with porcupines and armadillos.

Realtalk -- nobody has time or money to deal with stray random doggo. But doggos are resilient. Dick said that there was no sign of infection, get some triple antibiotic in town and keep it coated as much as possible. Get the quills out of the mouth as you can, but the dog will do that, too. It's a dog, it'll be okay with some triage, not a full-on $$$ vet bill.

Yeah, as much as well all love the dog, and I certainly do, don't get me wrong. Dave only has a week left there, not exactly the time to be spending potentially $100s on a random dog that may still have an owner looking for her. Do what you can to help her, but let's not get too swept up in this.

Dogs themselves will get all but the most deep quills out, and a pair of pliers and a submission hold will get the others.

Awesome! I googled it and there's a dog rescue in Valentine, apparently. With a dog as chill and well trained as the one you found it shouldn't be a problem to get it to a foster home.
