I found a skunk in my front yard tonight when I returned from work!
I quickly retreated into the driveway and stayed there until the little critter waddled up the street.
That little stinker.
What's scary is that this one didn't stink, so I had no warning...I just started up the front walk,
and there s/he was, looking right at me! Awfully cute, too bad about the scent glands.
