A very close call, indeed!

Tonight, I took Sadie out to do her business before crating her for the night. I opened the door & there, 20 feet in front of me (at the most), waddled a skunk. I pulled Sadie in, shut the door as quietly as I could & then bolted into the house.

Rewind 20 years...
Right before sunrise, I took our Beagle out. She took off after something, which I assumed was a neighbor cat (since I had no contacts in.). This is what my parents heard...

Door opens

Me: Here kitty, kitty..........OH NO!

A very strong skunk odor pervades our house right before I slam the door.


This is not the kind of episode I want to relive. Thankfully, I had my contacts in this time. :)
