At 9:30 at night a couple weeks ago, I spotted this prickly friend lounging on our patio. Yep, it's a porcupine.
I watched him walk from the grass up onto the patio, and then fall flat on his belly like this. It was as if he was saying, "Man, I'm beat." I opened our sliding door just a little bit to make some noise and he (and his quills!) popped right up. He scampered away before I could snap another photo.
People keep telling us it is only a matter of time until Maude gets "quilled" for the first time. Thankfully, tonight was not her night!
