No! No! No!
The skunk stays. Tami and i discussed this. It is too late in the season for it to find a safe home so he stays. In the spring after the baby skunks are safely grown I will deal with it humanely. Bright lights and a loud radio dropped down the hole while he is out will get him to move on but probably not far enough. Animal Control will have to get him. Then the burrow will be filled in with concrete.

Seamus, I believe, has learned his lesson. Last night he went out and started for the skunk's hole. I heard TWO skunks rattling and chattering at him. He looked at me sheepishly and came back inside. But he is fascinated by the smelly spot in the yard.

He doesn't smell bad until you rough up his fur. It's in there. The first time you dry him after a swim you'll notice, jacqui.
