reach in to pull it out is a thumb.


Speaking of doggie doors, one of my engineers has a doggie door to let his
dogs in and out of the house to a fenced in area outside. He forgot to close
the gate on the outside fence.

About 4 AM, his wife woke him up to a real powerful stench. The dog got out,
managed to have a losing encounter with a skunk, came back in and rubbed its
face all over the carpet, sofa, chairs, etc. trying to rub off the spray. He
had to take a day off work to try to clean the furniture and carpeting. Even
with his best efforts, some things are headed for the dump.

EEEEWWWWWWWW...........

Living in the woods like I do, things like this happen from
time-to-time. Over the years we've lost a couple of pieces of
furniture because of Pepe Le Pew.

Feel sorry for the poor dog. That's a shave AND a haircut deal. :)

I live in the city, but there are still a few very small wooded areas, I am
surprised that we have a fox, rabbits and a skunk living in less than an
acre. They are very adaptable.

As a kid I had a pet skunk. It was never descented, but he and I got
along fine. One time it escaped the barn and went to a neighbors back
porch. The neighbor came out, noticed the skunk, and started yelling.
The skunk didn't like this at all, and the neighbor suffered
tremendously.

Then my dad came home and heard the story from the neighbor. The skunk
got taken to some far away woods. I was very sad.

I had one and a neighbors cat walked in and tried to screw my cat under our
bed. It is hell to wake up to a horny cat howling away.

LOL, I had a similar experience. Only it was a cat fight, and it was on
my chest. I'm a sound sleeper, but I woke up with a scream and cats
flying. I don't have a doggie door anymore.
