Leroy in our recent trips to Pagosa has found a skunk and a porcupine and tried to chase a cow. Here are the stories.
Skunk: in the middle of the night Leroy was whining and we thought he had to go to the bathroom so we let him out to wander around for a while. Then my dad heard barking then sneezing and then whining. Im curled up on the couch and i hear my dad say oh no. And leroy had to spend the night out side on the deck. Then we tried everything to get the smell; mouth wash, lemon juice, taking him down to the lake. Lemon juice was what really helped. It has just stopped smelling now, almost 2 weeks later.
Porcupine: we dont know how the quills got in there but for getting them out we soaked the spot in vinegar then cut the quill with scissors then used pliers to get themm out. Poor leroy was terrified.
The Cow: we were driving in the forest yester day and I looked back and I didn't see leroy in the back of the truck. I just thought massive Barley was blocking him but then i saw on the side of the road running after us. Dad thinks he probably just wanted to go off and bark at a cow. But jumping out he got a nasty scrape under his arm.
Any way leroy obviously has some thrill issues, or just bad luck in wild life
What is next for him, a bear?
