Wednesday: "Maggie, I was walking with Cannoli and Delilah back by the beaver pond and Cannoli got quilled in the face by a porcupine! Dad wanted to pull out the quills with pliers but I called Gary and we brought the dog up to his house and he pulled them out with pliers. Dad was so annoyed."
"Is he okay?"
"Who?"
"Cannoli."
"Yeah, he just seems sore."
Friday: "Maggie, Gary was on his way to work at 4:30 this morning and he saw the porcupine, so he pulled over and got out of the car and shot him!"
"How do you know it was the same porcupine? Aren't they everywhere at this time of year?"
"Oh it was the same guy. TRUST me. Gary took pictures, I'm going to forward them to you."
"I don't want to see pictures of a dead animal that didn't need to be killed."
"I'm sending them! Bye!"
