I'm at war with skunks. Woody has had two close calls with them lately. The latest was two nights ago. I was throwing some garbage away out back and Woody joined me (he loves to supervise my work) and I heard a rustle in the bush. I turned around and saw a skunk scurry underneath our deck. I yelled at Andrew to close the door and I scooped Woody into my arms (sounds very dramatic, doesn't it?) and ran out the back gate, down the alley to the front door. If Woody had been more curious we could have had quite a situation on our hands.
So I've purchased Critter Ridder which is black pepper and capsacin and sprinkled it out back. We'll see what happens.
Have I mentioned how much I HATE skunks???
I'm trying to post another comment, just to see if it works.
ReplyDeleteOH YAY! It let me post. I have no idea why I couldn't post before. I have some commenting to do!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, yuck on the skunk thing. I'm picturing you swooping Woody up in your arms and running down the alley. You rescued him! :) Yeah, can you imagine how gross it would have been if he had been sprayed!
Hey! A comment -- two comments! Yay! Your mental picture is just about right! I did swoop him into my arms and run down the alley.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen them lately but I've SMELLED them!
