December 23 #ArtAdventCalendar is my #porcupine friend, Pokes. Gave me quite a shock on a dark evening when I almost walked into their caboose!

@trishpaton They always look so short, waddle along cumbersomely, who knew they can stand right up, turn to chase you, and almost bite you with big yellow teeth? Who knew? I know.. She had babies, they were so cute, wanted a group selfie but mom would have none of it. I'll never see a shot like that again.

@Rasta OMG so cute; babies would be adorable!!

We're flat prairie, so not common, and I *certainly* wasn't expecting one to be snacking at the end of a walkway. We both started, stared, and then backed up safe distances. I put a push broom by the front door for evening walkabouts for the rest of the month...!!

@trishpaton I had one as a pet, when I was a kid. ;P I always had odd pets, like cats #LOL But, to keep quills out of everything, he stayed in the fireplace (cleaned and screened) overnight and walked on a leash with me outside. It didn't last long, they climb a lot of trees. They chew a lot of trees, and they make a lot of noise
