Not sure why that worked, but eventually the spines were no longer felt."<br /><br />I'm guessing that your saliva softened them up and they eventually dissolved. When dogs get into cholla and then get the thorns in their mouth that is what happens with them.Edhttp://edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-80369818349484294362012-03-29T05:56:11.008-06:002012-03-29T05:56:11.008-06:00Hi, just read your story on Marks Daily Apple and ...Hi, just read your story on Marks Daily Apple and came over to read your blog...what fun to read about your adventures. I sent your blog to my husband and told him "we could do this!" After 35 years, he is frustrated and stressed like never before with his job (IT, project management). So I am going to start reading up on 5th wheels, trucks, etc and see if we can swing early "retirement". I liked your FAQ page; have wondered how to set up a residence somewhere while you're on the road. We've lived in Colorado and Az (besides NC and Ga) and my husband LOVES hiking...maybe we should go back out there before we're too old to hike. You have inspired me to do more than just wish we could. Also, I sent your grain-free story to my brother who is considering the paleo diet for his health. Thanks for sharing your story.<br />Sandy in GeorgiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-1572782744883715562012-03-28T12:19:36.287-06:002012-03-28T12:19:36.287-06:00I'm ok with trying new stuff but NOT WITHOUT M...I'm ok with trying new stuff but NOT WITHOUT MY GLASSES!

I would not have tried them, but hey, I am a metro New York girl and we learn caution and watchfulness early, lol. And, although I would not have tried them, I like the fact that you did. Be careful out there.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215639731987075129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-40321658123754885262012-03-27T08:37:48.315-06:002012-03-27T08:37:48.315-06:00Living up to your "label" i see...

While the fruit of the saguaro and other cacti are rapidly eaten by the birds, the FBC fruit seems to stay on the cactus for a looooong time. I just figured the birds hated it or else it was poisonous. You are one brave dude!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547530703319496195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-41561332925082331862012-03-26T18:26:15.451-06:002012-03-26T18:26:15.451-06:00That is so funny, but not really.
