SKUNK ALERT!

Skunk Skunk Skunk Yuck Yuck Yuck....AND, it is in our garage!- AAAAH!We just got the kids down for a nap then sat down on the couch with some milk and cookies-and that's when i spelt it. SKUNK! it smell so bad. Jerry had just sold his woodboiler this morning so he left still had the garage door open. Bowden had been outside with Jerry and filled the dogs bowl up with a mix of cat and dog food. So the skunk had a feast before its eyes. So what to do? you can't go out there and scare it cause it would spray its worse-than-sewer stench all over the garage and who ever tries to scare it. So i just watched it for a while, took a video and a couple of pics and then it started to head for the door. I went to our bedroom window to follow it and saw it go under the deck. Now this is bad, because our porch wraps around three sides of the house and if you shoot it under there, there will be skunk smell for months. so we jumped up and down on the deck trying to chase it back out into the yard and away from the house-then Jerry can finish him off with his rifle. the skunk eventually came back out but went straight back into the garage. We waited and waited outside for it to come back out. but this time it was trying to hide and now its still crouched down behind some drywall leaning against the wall. Thankfully, It hasn't sprayed yet, but this potent little creature stinks so bad, you can smell him from inside the house.! Half way through all this Sheila, our dog, rises from her dog house an comes barking around the corner. We grabbed her and the cat and locked them inside. So i just checked again and the skunk is still hiding. I will let you know what happens next.....later :)
