The Joys of Country Living

We love living in the country. It is great. We aren't too far out, but far enough. But as with everything, it does have its disadvantages. Like finding this living under your back porch. . .

Yes, it is a skunk, and yes it is covered in a flower sheet.
Why is it covered in a flower sheet you ask? Well, the guy at the store where Ben bought the trap said that once he caught it he needed to slowly come up and cover it with a blanket so he wouldn't get sprayed. This is the blanket that Ben got to cover our skunk so he wouldn't get sprayed. I guess it must have worked because he didn't get sprayed. Ben and 2 of the kids took this over the river and through the woods far way from our house to let it go. They had the hardest time getting the skunk out of the trap. I guess he liked it in there because he just didn't want to get out. Finally they ended up tying a rope to the trap and dragging it down a country road and through a ditch. When the trap went into the water the skunk finally climbed out and left. We hope he never returns so we can live happily ever after.
