Always be careful where you stick your nose around here!
It was one of these: (Jumping Cholla)
And just in case you can't read the story about 'Cactus Jack', the puppy in the first picture, here is a picture showing that he is doing just fine now! They filled up a big bucket with all the stickers they pulled off of him! Ouch, indeed!!
Ooooooooh, poor little puppy - so happy that he's okay now...
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad the tall guy was there to help you, Jack? I'm sure glad he was!
Stay safe!
Your friend,
Nancy
Those Chollas are BED! Our Angel sister Allie once ran into one when chasing a rabbit and some of the stickers went THROUGH her ear. The vet had to sedate her and they pulled 60 stickers out of her -- ears, face, GUMS and TONGUE. Never happened again! Careful, Jack!
ReplyDeleteJack, OMD that poor little puppy. I am glad he is ok, but ouchy. I hope I never find one of those evil thingys.

Lady had an encounter with Mr. JC the first year she visited the Sonoran Desert. KT and Brother Chip spent an hour with needle nose pliers picking the needles out one by one. It was delightful....not. BTW, I have experienced something worse: Mr. Porcupine. Our first Golden Sadie was exploring the Thumb Butte area of Prescott when she decided to give Mr.P a kiss. BIG mistake. That was a four hour plier fest. She never moved or complained during the extraction ordeal.
ReplyDeleteYou be careful out there Jack!!!
thank you for showing the after picture of that little guy.
ReplyDeletei can't help thinking of all the wee coyote pups that nobody's around to help when that happens. cruelties of nature!
thank goodness you have the tg to watch out for you jack!
love,

Bowsers! That looked painful! Thank you Jack, for that valuable lesson. Being still new to the Tucson area, I'm finding Arizona has quite the array of bizarre wonders of nature. My first being a shy, ugly looking dog (javelina) that was in the need of a strong stick of deodorant and a attitude adjustment!
ReplyDeleteOMD Jack that little tike was in definitely in a sticky situation.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for you TG was with you when you got stuck.
Happy Weekend
from your BFFF,
Madi

Aaaand sure it is painful, right?
Kisses and hugs

Yikes, you live in a tough neighborhood, dude! There are little tiny burrs around here, but nothing like what you have. AND you have rattlesnakes! Good thing the TG is always on the job, looking out for you.

Oh Man, that looks like it hurt like the dickens. (whatever that is) Jack I agree with some fo the others, you gotta be pretty tough to live in your neighborhood. Those jumping cactus look MEAN.
ReplyDeleteThe ugliest thing I have met yet is a big ole (and I mean big) spider.
Oh yeah and Allred (devil cat)
