Chance was outside barking and barking. I went to call her inside and she wouldn't come. I had to go get dr and it took both of us to chase her up the steps. We came inside and closed the door. Soon, we discovered what she was barking at and closed the windows too. I'm glad it wasn't Chance that caused that skunk to spray. I, also, hope it wasn't one of Bob's dogs. It's a good thing we found our bottle of skunk deodorizer this weekend when we were looking for something else. I didn't stay around to take a picture. dooley

I could smell skunk in the middle of the night. It was so strong it woke me up, but all my critters were in the house so I rolled over and went back to sleep.

Oh dear me, Dooley. Skunks are causing probs all over the place. I just read Michelle's blog entry about her man having to seal off the under bit of a house wire to keep the skunks out from under it.

Good luck with dealing with yours, I hope he doesn't stay around too long.

So far we have been very lucky with our dogs not meeting one...just the other day when I was outside I could smell one around in the area...I didn't wait to see it either...I wouldn't want to wear their perfume...
