These are pretty funny! SO, I'll relate the only skunk story I have: A friend of mine in college had a descented skunk as a pet, she lived in a rural area and as a hobby fed all the wild critters...birds, squirrels etc... Her boyfriend, later to be husband, never had animals growing up, but was very fond of all of Char's. Unfortunately he let an indoor only cat of her's out of the house and while they eventually got the cat back, he took a load of lectures on the importance of watching that the animals didn't get out. Anyway, a few weeks after the cat incident, he went over to Char's house and saw "Squiggy" the skunk wondering around the side yard. Happily determined to throw her words back at her, Kevin kept trying to pick up Squiggy hoping to ring the door bell with the beloved escaped pet in his arms and to spout the same LONG lecture back at her....after about three near misses, Char, who had heard his car pull up and was wondering WHY he hadn't come in yet went to the door and opened it...the REAL Squiggy in her arms....Kevin saw her out of the corner of his eye, just as he made a semi successful lunge at the skunk he THOUGHT was Squiggy....and got sprayed full on! THAT'S where I learned about using Tomato Juice to cut the stink ...(which by the way Kevin and Char received 40 cans of for their wedding shower!)

He loped off and as I got closer I could see it was not a dog, but a coyote (literally less than a mile from my house).I always have a leash in the car and was preparing to pull over! I sent my husband an email later in the day relating the incident and his response, was, "well, have you found him a home or do we get to name him?"!! If I had skunks snoozing on the couch I don't even know if he'd notice!!Julie

Mind you, I don't think anyone's significant other on this list could be blamed for wondering when the day is going to come that they arrive home to find a coupla skunks cosying up by the hearth or stretched out on the sofa. Hey, they're all God's creatures, right! :>)-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: HELP...SkunkGee, Cherie, I have no suggestions on that. My husband once called me on his cell phone from the driveway of our house to '"come and get YOUR skunks off the porch" so he could get in the house! He didn't want to risk getting sprayed and they were dining on the food I keep out there for whoever needs to eat; maybe a cell phone for doggie?? It's always something, isn't it????Good luck!Julie
