We don't have air conditioning or skunks here.
We do have a hedgehog, birds and frogs in our back garden though. The hedgehog sits outside the conservatory steps and walks very fast back to his house under the hedge when we go out to look at him.
Years ago, I was coming home after a night of partying....feeling no pain.
I see this cute little kitty cat on my steps.
I reach down to pet it, and notice a white stripe.
Skunk looks up at me with a " um what are you doing?" look on its face.
Luckily, it didn't spray me.
I may need to change the name of this thread to possums! The animal control company rebaited the traps (looking for another skunk). On Thursday morning and again this morning we found possums in the traps. I didn't know that so many critters lived in our area.
