Skunk Update

There WAS a SKUNK!!

The kids and I hustled off to school without even looking...since there was still no skunk smell, we didn't want to risk irritating it, if it was there.

The king was brave and looked out her window. Sure enough, it was digging away, trying to get out!

He called animal control. This is how it works.

She showed up. When the king asked if she was going to make a plan of attack, she just said, "No. Tell me where it is, and I'll get it." Huh...like she does this for a living or something!

So she had a nice, shiny needle attached to a long pole. She filled it up with nice "skunky go to sleep" medicine and then poked him with it. He didn't even spray then.

She waited a couple of minutes to make sure he was sleeping.

Yep, seems to be sleeping...and then took a bag down there and wrapped him up and brought him up.



Uh-oh. He's asleep but still breathing. We can't have that because mose skunks are rabid.



Better do one more shot, just to finish the job.
She took him away with her.
I love the skunk lady!!

Hurrah for Cara--who was not afraid to get up and look out the window. VERY BRAVE!
