This morning Joey and I had an interesting confrontation. I'm glad that Joey spotted the skunk at as great a distance as she did because I didn't see it right away. Once I did, I pulled Joey back until I saw that the skunk wasn't standing its ground and had run away.
Some of my friends have expressed concern for me on my early morning walks. However, I think they were more concerned about two-legged animals than four. This Iowa farm girl knows better than to tangle with the four-legged kind. I can only imagine the school's reaction if I had to call in sick because I had been sprayed by a skunk.
If I had been sprayed, I would have went anyway. I did have a skunk in thewindow well when I lived on a farm near Ayrshire. Ir was rabid and kept on squelling trying to jump an 8 inch window ledge. I shot it and it sprayed all over the window well. Oh the smell in my basement. I burned a lot of cinnamon to cut the odor in the basement. KEN
