I've had occasions that led to close encounters of the cactus kind. Visiting the deserts west of San Diego - we used to have quite a time tripping around "the middle of nowhere". I recall one frisbee game that lead to my thigh firmly engaging a barrell cactus. I did manage to disconnect, and yank the spines out, but the pain and subsequent infection lingered on for quite some time.
Thanks for sharing your stories. Have a neighbor who sprays and kills grasses in the orchard behind, but there is one small weed that seems immune. So it's been selected to be the only thing left. Small soft green but then dries into a spiky hard pokey little "club". Much too tuff for tender pups feet. They won't walk through it. Shame, with the weed killer killed ALL the weeds. I'd take soft wildgrasses over those things.
