A Visitor in the Night

Last night we were relaxing, watching a little TV when a neighbor called us and said she saw a skunk go into our backyard. Fortunately, the dogs were asleep and we were able to lock them inside before there was an incident. We ventured outside with flashlights in hand to find our new critter friend wandering around our backyard, looking for food, and a way out. We finally had enough observing and left the side gate open to provide an easy exit. The scene got a little exciting when the skunk came onto our back patio and to the back door to entice the two dogs. We thought our male dog was going to bust through the wall. With the dogs going crazy, mr skunk made it's way out of our yard and off to terrorize another family that evening.
