Those leaves were rustlin' while Em and I watched to see who was causing the ruckus. Hobbes was inside, so it really made me curious as to was under those leaves.
"It's the opossum" Joe said confidently, but those leaves were moving too fast for that slow movin' guy and I said so. And with that, this appeared:
I'm putting wagers on either Joe or Hobbes meetin' the stinky end of this little guy. I'll be stocking up on tomato juice this weekend--just in case.

That is just carrying the suburban nature preserve thing too far.
Wow! That is a super cute little thing, but only from a distance! LOL! :)
Yikes! Yeah, get the tomatoe juice ready! Not the best visitor to have at your house. You may want to re-invite the taradactle...at least he won't leave a pungent ordor! Or...better yet, why don't you scare the little fellow away with all the lawn decorations you have accumulated lately! I am quite sure those beady red eyes would scare any little critter right out of the yard! Just a thought...
Wen
oh now, good thing to be prepared. Hugs!P.S>I'm having my very first blog hop today Please stop by and link up your lovely blog.
How adorable is that wee little skunk! Perhaps he would have been just a little stinky. ;)
Hoepfully Hobbes keeps his nose out of skunky's way!
xo Catherine
Skunks do like to dig holes and look for bugs. Yup, get the tomato juice ready. Although we had a skunk here and it got along just fine with the cats. They were sitting together in my back yard much to my horror. The poor thing went off and came back and died.
Oh how cute but yeah - can you imagine giving Hobbes a bath? In anything? Wish you luck with that
When we lived in Jersey a mother had her kits under our house. They are quite cute when they are small but when they are living under your house the smell does not leave....
Gross! Watch out Hobbes. Although...that little guy is so cute:)
GAH! We had a skunk in our basement last night! It's a conspiracy!!!
Oh what a little cutie! We hope there isn't a Happy Skunk Village that he gets sent to!
Oh Hobbes, be careful! I think his name is Pepe LePew!
Oh no, he is cute but Hobbes better watch out.
Rather than tomato juice I tried a mixture of dawn dish soap and I think peroxide, it worked pretty good.
My sister in law had told me about it, she read it in one of my brothers hunting magazines.
I think skunks are cute too--don't want to get close to one though. Hope Hobbes stays clear!
Vanilla--Yeah, no kidding."Okay--attention all wild animals--do NOT come into my yard!!!" (Do you think that worked?) :P
Sherrie--Yeah, looking out the window at him--he was so cute! So tiny! I just hope he doesn't come by too often.
Wen--I never had skunks until all that crap showed up. I'm just sayin'...
Katherine--I dunno, can you ever be prepared for that???! Yikes.
Catherine--Oh, he was a baby and soooo cute! He skeedaddled when he heard us oohing and ahhing over him. While he was cute, I'd rather he didn't come back.
Marg--Awww. That is sad, Marg. So your yard is sorta like Happy Skunk Village???
Grace--Yeah, and a LOT of baths at that???! NO thanks. Yikes.
Pricilla--I've heard that you can't get that smell out of your house once it is in. Oh, I hope he goes back home!
Nancy--Oh, you should have seen that baby! He was very cute. I just don't want to meet the rest of his family!
Rebecca--I heard this morning on the radio on how many skunks there are this year! I guess they are taking over, eh? How did he get in your basement???!
Beaded Tail--Nope. I couldn't do that. They have to do the dirty deed right there. :( All of our raccoon traps smelled like skunks. Blech!
Daisy--It's a good thing Grace is in the house then!! I don't want that skunk after my kitty! EEEK!
Ann--Oh, thanks for the recipe. I've heard tomato juice doesn't really kill the smell. I hope he doesn't come back and we don't have to deal with skunk smell.
Karen--We've been bringing him in extra early so we don't have to deal with it--but there is always that chance. Ugh. I don't want to think about it!
My grandma used to feed those things. Now you have a little insight as to why I'm so effin' weird.
I do have to say....I'm very disappointed in you. You said, and I quote, "WTF."
WTF?? Since when don't we actually drop the REAL eff bomb on my blog?
Kidding. I haven't bought anything with the Paypal yet. I did have $89 in Amazon GC's that I had earned from a couple different sites. I ordered myself a nice juicer. Ya know, since I don't eat no meat.
I had a friend who had a pet skunk that was leash trained. I kid you not. It had had certain smelly parts removed. It was loverly and soft and so cute. Now why did she have said skunk you ask? Her dad was an animal trainer and the skunk did commercials and movies etc. When she took it for walks people would cross the street. I so wanted a pet skunk:)
After Joe beheaded your goose rescuing beer cans, this it might be time to call Billy the exterminator from the A&E show
I've never seen them upclose before...really cute! At least he's outdoors and not in your house :)
It dissipates like any noxious odor..
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHMG! Adorable!!!
Oh no! Is that the real actual picture? What a cutie but look out.
Our Pumpkin Pie is friends with all the skunks that visit our yard. One evening as I was getting out of the car he chased one right in front of my path! Lucky me it didn't spray but I screamed for all the neighborhood to hear.
