The stink that wont go away.

Here is a little tale of woah.

On Thursday I was leaving to drive down the street to rescue Mum from hell, oh I mean work. I decided to put Penny out. As I was tying her up I noticed that Shawn (dreads) had a skunk following him about the back yard. Penny noticed too. I forced Penny back into the house. Down the street I went, really down the street theres exactly 10 houses from my house to the shop, got Mum, turned around and came home. Shawn was chatting with some neighbors when we arrived so I assumed the skunk went away. We went into the house Penny went out.

A few minutes later Penny was growling and barking while Shawn was yelling, "Nancy! Amanda!" Out Mum went. What caught her in the face was skunk stink. The little skunky had come back, right up to Penny who was on the back porch, and sprayed. Okay, Penny is dumb. But this time it was the skunks fault. The damn skunk got her right in the gullet, as well as all over the porch and dirt and such. While Mum wrangled Penny with Shawn (beard Shawn), Shawn (dreads) and I went to Cumby's to get tomato juice.

While we were at the store Shawn called the police to tell them we had a crazy skunk. Mind you this was about 530pm. Skunks don't come out that early and chase people slash pets about the yard. Before we left the skunk chased me until I stood still long enough for it to sniff my sneakers. Then I ran away. I wasnt about to get sprayed.

We returned from the venture down the street. Penny got a face bath with juice. The porch got a bath with juice. The house got a bath in Febreze. We all stayed outside and waited until it was safe enough to breathe in the house. It took a while. The skunk had enough fun and went and hid by Shawn's bedroom window and rested. When I went to take a picture of it to send to Colleen so she could see who made her dog smelly, it decided to get up. I ran away. No picture. After that it disappeared. The police officer came to kill it, animal control was occupied. Silly, possibly, rabid skunk was gone. No dead skunks in our yard. Havent seen it since.

Mum went in the house. Shawn and I sat at the table, while I did work he made us burgers and hot dogs. Shawn (dreads) went back to cleaning the yard. Mum rushed off the phone when she saw Shawn go in the house and get the tongs. She knew something was up if Shawn was cooking. Plus she would have missed dinner if she hadn't. I would have eaten all the food on her. Those were tastey mini cheeseburgers. After dinner the bugs were out. We went in to bath.

The clothes were bathed in tomatoes juice. The dog was lather rinse repeated. The bathtub was scrubbed. All of the people scrubbed. Yet the dog and the porch still stink like skunk. I have renamed Penny Stinkbutt.

  1. Your Uncle says the skunk was probably not rabid. It is Spring and they are highly excitable this time of year. It may have been interested in you (or your shoes) because of a scent.

    And did you just tell me your Mum's birthday is June 26th?
