Good for you, Michelle!

This morning I decluttered the yard of a skunk carcass. It seems my dogs have hit the Zen of dog-hood. In their younger years, they got skunked before they killed the skunk. Then they got a slight glancing blow of spray before they killed the skunk. Then last year we went through the peaceful 7 discharges in the yard (that I detected) but only the first landed any dog-hair or face contact. And they started chasing off the skunks without getting hit.

Now they're back in form, killed the skunk without getting skunked. It must take quite a strategy on the part of two dogs to neither get hit and still manage to kill the poor bugger. It's now floating down stream in the creek behind the house. (This is going on the facebook page where I sent a photo of the smearly departed.)
