OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

Really need to write more stories and add more pictures to my blog for the skunkies. Now that we are moved in and I have Internet here at new house, I will take time to be creative.
So, I am back. Moved a whole house. Just brought essentials and furniture to serve for a year.
Last posted four pages back, read a lot of posts.
And yes, there are people and dogs that mistake skunks for cats, especially if they are desaced. Desacing usually takes place at 6 weeks, pretty safe and noninvasive at that age but no vet wants to do it in their office even then LOL. Even after a domestic skunk is desaced, they can poo the scent, but not all are as strongly scented. My Pooh smelled like vanilla coffee, my Baby smelled like blown up hard-boiled eggs when they tried to spray and couldn't.

Diane, One of my fond memories from childhood is watching my Uncle Hj's wild skunks. They lived under his front porch which was ok since in the country no one ever used the front door, not even our preacher. In the spring and summer the babies would play in the yard and I could watch from the window. I was five and six when we lived in that area. Somehow year after year there was always a family in residence---for at least 20 years that I personally know of and I've been told they were there many years before I was born. They only time they ever sprayed was after Uncle was moved to a nursing home when I was in my 20's and his friends and relatives were cleaning out the house. My guess is that there were just too many strangers!

The best way to dis-lodge a wild skunk is a transistor radio on talk show, at medium volume, so as not to startle.
-
Ahhhh, but uncle didn't want to dislodge them, he enjoyed watching them too. And he always said - when I got older, could laugh with and had proven a certain amount of discretion, that they helped keep the more stupid of the gossips away.
He even put out treats for them. Don't remember what he gave but do remember watching them come running when he put out a dish for them.

Pooh was our wild life rehab gone wrong, he got pneumonia and sprayed our house from all the coughing.
Yes, I could have used the cure back then. Live-wired skunk in the house. He also sprayed our daughter's dog when they were playing, he was a baby and got too excited.
This is Pooh when he was a spoiled young kit.
Well darn, the photo is not anywhere but on the blog in the revolving images. So here is a link to see him, watch for a baby skunk with a my little pony and a box to play in, LOL. Title of image is Love of my life.
And did you know the asparagus in the Midwest was mostly freezing off all spring because of inclimate weather. First we had 80 degrees during March then unseasonable colder in the real Spring, so very little asparagus, except for the lucky ones who covered theirs or had trees over their crop. Will be a tame Spring, no smoking around here.

What's happened to the hen house? Who redecorated it? I don't like this new look.
-
I am not sure if I like this so I am going outside.
-
And I am out of there as well !!!!

My DH heard a sound outside. He went to the kitchen and found a bear ripping through the garbage. By the time I got over there it was hiding in the pine trees. I saw its eyes reflecting from the flaslight. I'll be up all night checking to see if he returns. Dumb dog didn't alert us.
-
He came back for seconds.
-
Bears beware guard kitties on patrol.
Bears beware, don't go near veggy's hen house, or her house or bins.
Actually I can't imagine encountering a bear. Our largest native mammal here is a tiny bat. We have rabbits, possums, stoats weasels etc but nothing like bears.
-
If I were a dog I would not bark at a bear either. Just be really quiet and hope he doesn't see me.
-
Actually, DH and I were backpacking with our dog and were in the tent sleeping. The dog woke me up shivering with fear. We didn't see what it was, but figured either a bear or a cougar. The dog was not afraid of anything before or after this incident.
-
I live in the country...farmland. We see bears now and then. I stayed up until 1AM waiting to see him again, but I think we frightened him off. Our yard was a mess with garbage. If they would only clean up after themselves.

Hang in there Sas !

A few months ago my neighbor called during dinner and said, "There's a horse in your yard." I accused her of indulging a wee bit too much, and she said, "No, really! There's a horse in your yard." So, I got up and went to look out the front windows.
There was a horse in my yard.
Now, we live in a large subdivision in the 'burbs of Atlanta. There are pastures down the main road from us and evidently this one went walkabout from there.
Years ago in another neighborhood supposedly an emu came through my yard. We were out of town on vacation and nobody got a picture of it, but animal control was called and they didn't know what to do with an emu, so they just drove down the street behind it while it wandered around.
