The scene a 5:30 am walk. It kind of looked like this out.
Suddenly there was a rustle in the bush and we saw something black. Lady slowed down. The dogs got excited.
Then at the end of the road chaos ensued. It looked something like this thanks to Lady's headlight and movement.
Out of the field came a little skunk. It was about 3 feet from us when it popped out. The dogs went crazy and with all her strength Lady went backwards, dragging two crazy dogs behind her. Once the skunk was safely out of sight, the walk continued.
It was a way to get the heart going in the morning!
...indeed that is a way to start in a day... sometimes I really can see the adrenaline around me like a cloud (am I like Pig Pen in charlie brown?) ... great that the lady rescued you from getting skunked...
ReplyDeleteWhew that was great cardio workout...YIKES...thank goodness you weren't skunked by the skunk stench.
ReplyDeleteThat is one odor one never ever forgets.
Hugs HiC

ReplyDeleteThose skunks will do it too you every single time. BOL!
ReplyDeleteYipes! A skunk!!! Glad you didn't get sprayed!
ReplyDeleteOH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yikes! that would have been more than TROUBLE for days even... so glad you got them away. when i was a child, like 55 years ago, my dad ran over a skunk in the mountains of KY in the dark that looked like your dark and headlights like yours and that smell stayed in our 1953 Ponitac for MONTHS
ReplyDeleteEEEK! Good job Lady for keeping the dogs(and stinky spray) at bay!

Stay away from the skunk!!
ReplyDeleteHailey and Zaphod, This may be difficult for you to believe, but I once visited a lady who kept a skunk as a pet! Yes. The skunk's name was "Desert Flower" and she was no longer able to make a stink because her scent glands had been removed. Still, she was somewhat dangerous. When Desert Flower began rummaging in my purse, I quickly grabbed made a grab for it, intending to take it away. The owner said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
ReplyDeleteThat is one encounter Mom hopes we NEVER have to have!!!

Skunk! Yikes. Mom threatens me about them every time I snoop in a hole or a shrub. I have never seen one that close up, though! Whew. Thank goodness you're all OK.
