Stuck
Two things about this story over at Friday Puppy about a dog that got stuck by a porcupine in East Berne. 1) Oof, that had to hurt. 2) There are porcupines in this area! Here are some facts about New York's native porcupine, the North American porcupine. [Friday Puppy] [NY Falls]

A couple of years ago I saw a porcupine waddling down my street, which is off New Scotland Ave. in Albany. It was dusk and I couldn't believe my eyes.

re #2: They've been here, you just need to know when & where to look. When I was mountain biking in the mornings at Thacher Park over by the Carrick Road overlooks, I would regularly see s few large ones. Luckily, they would shimmy up a tree before noticing me!

My beagle back in the 80's got a face full of needles when she decided to run into a small cave that happened to be the home of porcupines. It's a lesson most dogs only need to learn once.
