Return of the skunk

June 20, 2008 by Heather

Last night at about 12:30 am I was in my living room reading a good book when I heard a loud crash noise.  It was soon followed by a strong scent that resembled a SKUNK!

I ran to the dining room window which was OPEN letting in cool night air and heard something crunching on cat food. I proceded to shut all the windows and turned on the back deck light.  This is what I saw.

I got Adam and he shot it with his paintball gun, but that just made it do a full handstand spray right at the house and it ran under the deck instead of AWAY from my property!

Let's just say it was a LONG REEKY night.  In the morning we found out that the outside smelled tons better than the inside of the house.  So we've been airing out the house all day. Marinating in skunk musk is SO DISGUSTING. REVOLTING EVEN!

AHHHHHHH!!!  I hate skunks!  Never leave catfood out at night! Or even dusk!

    I love the smell of skunk...it reminds me of Grandmas house...random! We can't wait to see you in July.

    I agree with Heather...skunks are horrible creations, no offense big guy. In all, at the risk of sounding cheesy, the whole thing stinks!

    I have to defend myself. Please note that it had already sprayed BEFORE I became involved. Although I saw it up on its hind legs. I never saw/smelled it spray more after I started shooting at it with the paint ball gun.
