Wildlife...too close for comfort!

Well, it's a good thing we're moving!!! Check out what just moved into our yard and under our shed....







Yup, they're adorable, but they're still SKUNKS!!!

They must have been born recently. We only noticed them 2 days ago. One was wandering around the back yard around the pool area. He seemed to be lost. All of a sudden, 4 more popped their heads out from under the shed and made noises as if to call the lost one home.

That was yesterday.

Today they started all coming out and walking around our yard!!!! It's a bit creepy. During the day it's not a problem to walk Cody (our dog) because we can see them (even though they're quite small), but at night...LOOK OUT! I just hope none of us get sprayed. Yuk!



Only 13 days until we move...let's hope the new owners find their 'neighbors' very friendly! What a welcoming committee they have, huh? =)

I am sure they're stinky, but that is the CUTEST problem I can imagine one could have in a house. :-) You almost want to reach out and pet them, except for the knowledge of having to bathe in tomato juice afterward.

Keep plenty of tomato juice handy in case someone does get sprayed.

And they ARE really cute!
