More than nine lives

Poor Maverick added to his list of Vet visits.  This time he chased down a porcupine and decided to bite it!  That's right bite it.  The pictures don't even show how bad it was.  Matt tried to pull them out with pliers until Mav opened his mouth and we got a good look inside. The roof of his mouth was completely coverd in quills.  We decided he needed to go to the Vet. After sever hours at the vet and 800.00 dollars latter he is doing good.  I swear this dog has more than nine lives!  Jane has been extra sweet and caring to him.

Just in case you didn't know, Maverick....

Almost died from eating rat poison

Got hit by a car

Has been sprayed by a skunk twice

Flayed his gut open on barbed wire {this was really creepy looking!}

and I have lost track of how many times he has need stitches.  

Now we add porcupine to the list. 

He really is such a sweet dog and the kids {mostly Jane} are over the moon in love with him!
