'When you are a skunk, you learn 'ow to 'old your breath for a long time.'


So said Pepe le Pew, and having smelt my first skunk when driving back from Boston t'other night, I can quite see why. Even when safely ensconced in a moving car, with the windows fully up, the stench was overpowering and lingered for a fair distance. I'm not even sure what an accurate comparison would be: it was like inhaling all the evil in the world. No wonder that cat kept running away!

  1. Ha ha... there are many skunks in the neighborhood. Be careful when the dogs go out at night...if they get sprayed you are in big trouble! I will let you know how to clean them if that happens...its quite interesting! Not much can cut the acid of skunk stench.

  2. I actually don't mind the smell of skunk. I wouldn't want it to get all over me, though! I hear that smell is so hard to get rid of. There's at least one that visits my backyard regulary.

  3. There was one time I found a baby skunk in my garage...make sure the door is closed at night.
