Chapter: Comic
Our dog will sometimes freak out and start pacing around for no apparent reason. You want your toy? No. Do you need more water? No. Do you need to go outside? Ah okay… Then as I open the door I’m clobbered with a sudden blast of skunk that the dog had been hit with ten minutes before.

Skunk..absolutely the only animal you’re dead certain you happened to drive a car past.
I am quite glad to have never had to deal with a close encounter of the smelly kind, despite having a cottage with lots of woods nearby, even some on the property.
Well, at least Patrick doesn’t have cockroach-antennæ eyebrows… 😉
but skunks are so cute! =D
I’ve never seen a skunk, or smelt one for that matter. For which I’m glad, because I’m never really in the mood for being hit with ANY kind of foul-smelling guff of wind. 🙂
We have had to suffer through several skunk incursions where one (or more) of our dogs have gotten sprayed. What I can’t understand is why my dogs can’t remember just how unpleasant the last time was … no, they always go charging right at the darned things and get sprayed again!
The best way to get rid of the smell: http://dogs.about.com/od/caringfordogsandpuppies/ht/deskunking.htm
We’ve also found that very young skunks can walk through a chain-link fence like it wasn’t even there. I’ve had to put 1/2 inch mesh screen over the lower part of all my chain-link.
Digging the new comic, Chris.
I’ve always thought it would be cool to have a skunk skin cap, like a coonskin cap only gnarlier. the only issue is how to get one without getting stunked.
I’ve seen skunks when I lived in the forest. They would actually “hop around” like in the cartoons.
Luckily, we were inside our car when we saw them.
Some furries take their costumes to a whole new level of realism…
