Skunk at the Back Door

[Rareboy]

It is that time of the year again here on the farm.

Last night at about 6:30 pm we look out onto the back porch and see a young skunk nosing around...I think that he/she had also had their paws on the glass of the french doors and that at least two of our four cats had had some Pepe le Pew fantasy about the raffish black kitty with the white stripe.



Tonight...same time...back again.

And seriously one of the most adorable skunks we've had around.



Every few years we have one turn up and hover over out compost bin in early spring...or god forbid....have their babies in the fence row about 20 feet from the house.

But please. Go away. Shoo.

My raccoons and opossums don't seem so bad now... but I'm in the city.

I can't remember seeing skunks here in the desert, but I am sure there must be some around. Back in Michigan in our inner ring suburb of Detroit where the houses are just a few feet apart, we see them often, along with raccoons and possums and the three do not always get along. Those are three animals that have made themselves right at home in urban areas. If someone runs over a skunk in the street out front, it is quite bad.

Funny, I saw this thread title and wondered whether it was a euphemism for someone having some ''smelly'' issues around their backside. Haha. How wrong was I! Or am I just a dirty old mind?

I thought the same thing.
