It was a interesting week or so. I came home to a horrible smell in the house. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Airing out the house was the only solution, but that had to happen at least twice. I searched everywhere. I wondered if the boys hadn't showered in days. FINALLY, it dawned on me there was a skunk somewhere in, under, or near the house.
On Sunday, I saw it. A little black and white tail hanging out of an opening just under the furnace in the garage. So I warned the boys to be slow and careful as they entered the garage, lest they be sprayed and have a tomato juice bath. I told Chris we had a skunk and to get rid of it.
On Monday, I saw it again, as I went to get more milk from our fridge outside. This time it was ready to spray. I ran in the house, FORGET about the milk. I then carefully opened the door to push the garage door opener. When I left for work, walking slowly to get in the car, it was gone. Chris was again given the task to GET RID of IT!! He set a trap just outside the little garage door, the same one we'd used to catch the stray cats, and Tuesday at lunch, Chris had luck. He covered it with plastic and shot it a few times. IT is now resting in a far away place.
No more Skunk!
