Skunk!!!

Yes folks, we have a skunk! As I was getting ready for bed last night I noticed an odd shadow run by the sliding glass door in our bedroom... at first just thought it was Buster's shadow, then I thought it was one of the neighborhood cats, but soon realized it wasn't! About the time I shrieked SKUNKSKUNKSKUNK!!! it stopped in its tracks and seems to shriek back HUMANHUMANHUMAN... CAT!!!

And then it turned the other way and darted off, much to Buster's frustration!

So yes... we have a skunk. This will make outdoor nighttime activities... interesting.
