While hubby and I were babysitting sons families dog two years ago for a week or so.<br /><br />That skunk came every day on the patio and you never knew when. And we had to take out the dog many times. So I was terrified that Mr.Skunk would not spray him with his strong aroma. If so. Family left instructions and the bottles to apply if it be so. To clean Teddy the dog with. Hurry did not have to. Good timing for us.

Of these I've had the privilege to see river otters swimming in the wild, no end of squirrels, the odd skunk. I doubt I'll ever see a wolverine, though they are fascinating animals.<br /><br />@Lowell: now that's an insult to skunks!<br /><br />@Jan: I do too- particularly the first squirrel. The background painting reminds me of a view from the Gatineau Hills. For all I know, it might well be exactly that view.<br /><br />@Red: fishers do tend to be quite elusive as well. You might see tracks, but that's all you ever see of them.<br /><br />@Grace: very different from the flora and fauna of your part of the world.<br /><br />@Linda: thanks!<br /><br />@Cloudia: it is, but it's a good educational component for kids, I think.<br /><br />@Revrunner: as long as one doesn't startle a skunk, they're not likely to go off, as the expression goes.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-50504138232527711042016-04-23T11:59:07.042-04:002016-04-23T11:59:07.042-04:00Reminds me of a family of skunks that made its way...Reminds me of a family of skunks that made its way through my camp site many moons ago.Revrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906290746860646907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-83585808787168710522016-04-23T11:16:10.283-04:002016-04-23T11:16:10.283-04:00In this day of amazing video, it does seem like a ...In this day of amazing video, it does seem like a vestige of the past to mount and display creatures in this way, eh?
