Unhappy Fifi

On Saturday afternoon I checked out the woodpile and found no clear evidence of a skunk-in-residence.  However, I discovered fresh poop in an area accessible only to small animals.  That suggests that Fifi LaPhew may have at least passed through.

About 8:30 that evening it became very clear that Fifi was upset about something.  I was watching TV when when the scent of his/her unhappiness came wafting through the window.  Perhaps another animal invaded the skunk's personal space.

Today I'll lay in a supply of ammonia.  I've got a few old socks which ought to do nicely! •••

  1. It's hard to know where a skunk's scent is coming from, unless the animal has been hit on the road. I suspect it wasn't a human who elicited this reaction, but more likely another animal.
