He licked my coffee cup!

So I was out on the deck at sunset enjoying a coffee an ran inside for a minute to grab something. The cats were freaking out following something along the front of the house so I went to check why....


It was a porcupine and he came up on the deck and licked my coffee cup!! Thank goodness I ran inside for a second *phew* (reminds self to stop leaving that out there and coming back for a drink lol)


He lumbered around then headed off the deck. Looked like a pretty young fella.



After he was off the deck and at a safer distance I went outside, he turned and walked towards me ! I was ready to make a quick retreat if he turned his prickly side to me lol



But he didn't, he just stopped to smell the flowers as he lumbered away

Ah man ... I have yet to really see a porcupine.
So far the only one I have really encountered was along the road chewing on a road barrier while we were driving by.

That's awesome! Porcupines are so cool, I loved working with them back when I was a volunteer at the local wildife shelter. They have so much personality.



ETA for the above video - turn speakers on - the audio is very funny!

Aw dxqcanada, I've seen them a few times and they are always so nonchalant and I think they are awfully cute lol
BlackSheep thanks, that is beyond cool that you got to work with wildlife and these guys like that! OMG that video is adorable! Thanks for posting it

Glad you liked Teddy! Apparently he's quite the youtube star:



Got any corn & champagne for yours? That would make for some interesting photos....lol

Lol that one is awesome too BlackSheep
Taking the licking of my cup into account perhaps coffee and a donut instead of corn and champagne ? Lol
