Skunk!

This past week I was looking out at the backyard when I saw something moving back by the trees. At first I thought it was a cat and then it turned and I discovered it was a skunk. It stayed for about 15 minutes before it ran off. Then, we saw it again last night.
Now, before we bought our house we had skunk problems with a mother and her babies living under our shed. Jeff had to try all sorts of things to get them out (cayenne pepper, coyote urine - yes, you can buy this, chicken wire, etc) and they eventually left when the mother died (we're not sure how she died). So, we were not too happy to see a skunk return to our yard.

  2. I think I'd rather have skunks. At least they shouldn't get into the house!
