Seeing a skunk is not that rare, though I’ve seen more bears. I think this one, that Bonnie spotted wandering around the driveway and yard, was the same we saw while walking a few weeks ago about a mile from the house.
On that day Bonnie got pretty close, but fortunately came when I called her. Another dog wandering the neighborhood was not so lucky. It was interesting to watch. The skunk did not spray right away. The dog, a puppy, taunted it for about a minute before the skunk got fed up with the game.
If I was braver I probably could’ve gotten better photos. I hope it doesn’t take up residence under the deck. I guess I’ll pick up some moth balls next time I’m in town.
