Skunk Update 2,3,4

Draco normally doesn't move off of his bed at night. Mattie on the other hand patrols the backyard like she is a security guard..literally...She waits....And watches...all night long.....


Wednesday night 4am..we wake up to Mattie barking...deep barking means there is a problem...which is what she was doing. Scott and I wake up and listen for one second and then Scott says quick close all the windows and shut the door. Which is what we did. We go outside where both dogs are, it's mayhem outside. Draco had been sprayed by a skunk and killed it. So we start the whole process. Get the skunk..take care of it. Smell both dogs. Get rubber gloves, hose, soap, the dogs...(When the dogs get sprayed it's always in the face so they are rolling in the grass to try to get it out of their eyes). Mattie hadn't been sprayed but obviously Draco had. Scott gives him a bath and puts him in the garage for the rest of the night.

FRIDAY night...10pm. Same routine. We smell skunk, luckily I was just getting into bed..Close everything up..go outside. Mattie has a skunk cornered in the backyard. (Draco didn't get out there quick enough so he was locked in our bedroom.) Get the skunk out..Smell Mattie...she got skunked. Give her a bath...

FRIDAY night 4am. (This is the same night) Wake up to more chaos and mayhem in the backyard..Draco barking...going crazy....Outside he killed another skunk...Oh MY GOSH....do they ever learn...Our house smells so bad.....Seriously....it's pretty gross....That's the luxury of having 1 Initiator and 1 Finisher.

Whoa that is crazy!! We get crappy skunks around our yard at night too so we can't open any windows at night! I hate them! But atleast they cant get in our backyard...how do they even get in your backyard?
