Wayne & I have a cabin that is only about a mile from our house, which makes it pretty convenient if we go there to grill or meet friends for card games. If we forget something it only takes a few minutes to run to the house and get whatever it is and get back quick. We went Saturday to grill steaks after Wayne got back from hiking/waterfall looking. We spent about an hour and a half there eating & just enjoying sitting on the deck listening to the creek run.
It was dark when we decided to go back to the house to watch a movie. I had mowed earlier that day and left the mower & Rhino out and since it looked like it was going to rain we thought we had better move them in the shop. I got in the Rhino and Wayne on the mower then headed for the shop when we spotted 3 baby skunks roaming around our back yard. Since I have tiny tiny dogs I was afraid that if they got bit and the skunks had rabies then my dogs wouldn't be able to survive that so Wayne got his gun and shot them. The stench wasn't too bad (maybe they don't have those nauseating smells yet). As I was walking (in the dark) back to my vehicle to get our stuff out of the car, I was worried that the mother skunk had to be somewhere, so I asked Wayne to shine the flashlight towards the front porch for me. Sure enough there was another baby skunk, but no mom. Wayne told me to get his shovel out of his truck. When I brought it to him he was laughing because the little guy was trying to fight him. There he was with that tail sticking straight up in the air trying to attack the shovel too. It was kinda hard having to kill it because he sure was a cute little fellow, but I didn't want to take a chance with my dogs. I could deal better watching a snake sliver around my yard than a stinky old skunk.

SCARY STORY: Wayne decided to cool off and go swimming before heading home from his hiking trip, so he went into the bathrooms to change into his swim trunks at the Erbie camping/swimming area. While in there he said he was thinking of me because stuck in the bathroom with him was a mouse. It couldn't find a way out so it was running around the bathroom trying to stay away from Wayne. I told him that if that had of been me I would run screaming butt naked from the bathroom and wouldn't care who saw me. If you only knew how horribly scared I am of those nasty creepy rodents then you would understand.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Missing Pee Wee!

Make sure if there are any more baby skunks that Emma doesn't think they are some sort of friendly animal she can play with! I can just see her trying to pet one, ugh!
