Over the weekend we were hit with some serious smells. One that will haunt me for the remainder of my life. We were getting ready to leave town and Kelton was walking out the door from the house to the garage when all of a sudden he comes charging back in and says "mom, there is something out in the garage." Well, I just kinda laughed and said to myself yeah right it is just a little spider or something. So I approach the door calmly and walk down the stairs to the garage. Max our dog follows behind. I peak around the corner to see a MONSTROPULOUS skunk eating Max's dog food. I immediately turned around and threw open the door and ran with all of my might. I slammed the door behind me saying holy crap it's a skunk. The only problem was Max was still in the garage. He didn't want no stinking skunk eating his only food source. So he attacked the little bugger. Yup, in the garage! And can I just tell you....it was a tie breaker! Max got sprayed, and the skunk got attacked. I forgot to mention that Max was sprayed about a month ago and finally started smelling like a dog again. So now we have this dying skunk in our garage, a stinky dog, a stinky house, a stinky truck, a stinky couch, and haunting memories of nasty smells.Brian and I headed to Idaho Falls to find some de-skunk shampoo, and any type of candle or air freshener available. We purchased dog and cat food containers, bowls, and a dog tag. Along with those small purchases we bought a large air gun. Brian thought the stinky skunk would still be in the garage, and sure enough when we got home it was still there......half dead. For a moment I felt sad for the little guy. He was just trying to eat Max's delicious dog food. But a few whiffs of the smell and all of my kind thoughts turned to EVIL. I now wanted him gone. Brian being the AMAZING man that he is took care of the situation. Now from this time forth our home will be haunted by terrible stinky creatures.

That is the raddest (if that is a word) story I have ever heard. Ash would be in love with your house right now because she loves the smell of skunk. Maybe when we come and visit in a couple of weeks it will still stink.
love

I too love the smell of skunk...strangely it reminds me of Idaho. Ahhhh good ol' Idaho. I really miss it sometimes.
Heather-
My dad had a skunk problem once in his backyard, skunks kept coming up from the hollow to eat my mom's chickens she used to have. So my dad would set traps and then shoot them and he would STINK so bad because they would spray when he shot them and we told him he must find another way to kill the skunks. So he decided to trap them and then he would drown them! No smell at all!! From then on he was known as the skunk slayer,( i think he got 10!) and we gave him stuffed animal skunks for christmas. So tell Brian not to shoot them!!! Or your husband will smell too!

p.s.
Don't feel bad for the skunks, they liked to tear apart our poor little chickens!!
