But didn't think to do it for the skunk. Won't it squirt inside the cage...or in the car (noooo, not the car!) Will consider it. Thanks for the sage advice! Appreciate it.<br /><br />Hi Diane,<br /><br />yes, aren't Rhys and Deborah wonderful? Rhys and I are having breakfast, along with the other best novel nominees, at Malice Domestic. So looking forward to it.<br /><br />Hi Gayle,<br /><br />GREAT skunk story! I love it. Perfect. Thanks for telling us.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-78172653603003302722010-03-25T09:56:09.303-07:002010-03-25T09:56:09.303-07:00My skunk story has a happier ending. At the time, ...My skunk story has a happier ending. At the time, we were living in the country in Bedford Co, VA. I happened to look out our back window and saw a mother skunk followed by her 5 babies and our black and white dog - all in single file, strutting along like they were having a parade. They seemed so happy. No worries for them and fortunately no odor for the dog!Gaylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-74772631415411349882010-03-25T05:13:40.977-07:002010-03-25T05:13:40.977-07:00You're continued sense of humour in the face o...You're continued sense of humour in the face of skunk adversity appears to be as perennial as our Canadian spring snow. I do hope the mothballs work!<br /><br />Deborah Crombie and Rhys Bowen, two more of my favourite writers. What a treat your blogs are - dogs, walks, skunks, snow, crocuses, writing, and conversing with like talent - such a delight. <br /><br />DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932887222818627488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-88336504780336279002010-03-25T04:28:41.660-07:002010-03-25T04:28:41.660-07:00Louise,
Quite a skunk adventure you are having....Louise,<br /> Quite a skunk adventure you are having....I've read that mothballs sometimes work and sometimes the skunk just makes a nest out of them. Might try a<br />humane trap w/food for bait and the skunk can get in, but not out and then they are releasable to the wild....far from your porch. Yes, if she has babies before you can remove her not only will she become more aggressive, but it might draw other predators. If you don't feel comfortable w/that you might try contacting your nearest humane society, or animal shelter etc. and they might assist you.<br />I'm not trying to be the voice of doom or a know it all.<br />I grew up on a farm and had some dealings w/this kind of thing and I want to help you if I can.<br />Good luck.<br />Kathywhalewatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866104177090272333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-6132336595731794212010-03-24T19:25:54.965-07:002010-03-24T19:25:54.965-07:00That panel was a riot!

And now I'm reading Deborah Crombie's books (I'd already found Rhys Bowen, and you of course). <br /><br />Too bad about the elliptical . . .<br /><br />Lee AnnLee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752558472354121200noreply@blogger.com
