Oh Bear

I thought he was smarter, I really did. I was only mildly concerned when I spotted a porcupine on our walk through the west field. If only he hadn't caught a whiff of it, we would have continued on our way home. But even after he found it, I thought he wouldn't get too close. I was wrong, and shortly after, we were on our way to Yorkton. In a short time, Todd and I became veterinarian assistants. Pulling quills is a rather gruesome process. He seems okay today though and is only limping a little. Brooke and Sarah were with Marie and they barely seemed phased by all the blood. When I stopped by the office today to drop off the blanket we borrowed and to pay the bill, there was a surprise waiting for me. Brooke had drawn a couple of pictures for me. Thoughtful little girl.
