P.U.

Last night we arrived home at about 7:30 and pulled into our driveway and instantly noticed a skunk wandering around in our garage. Our black lab, Champ, layed in the grass lounging under the stars, unaware of the beast on our property. Our once very attentive watch dog, is showing his age lately. Robb escaped the safety of the suburban and ran into the house to get a gun. While he was loading the gun the little rascal made his way under the deck while the kids and I sat on the edge of our seats in the suburban watching all of the action. Brylie was screaming "Be careful daddy!" I reassured her that he would be fine since he was fully armed and ready for the stinky beast to make his move. Because our deck has lattice all the way around it, we couldn't see him anywhere and despite our efforts to shine the car lights on the deck in every direction, he litterally dissappeared before our eyes. There was only one way out and we had our eye on that spot the whole time. Robb even fired a shot under the deck to scare him out, but to no avail. Honestly, it is the biggest mystery. We have NO IDEA where the black and white enemy went. Finally, the kids and I ran from our safety net into the house. The funky smell that the little animal left behind had found its way into our home. Luckily my mom and sister are in the candle making business, so I had plenty of candles on hand. The kids also went to town with the FeBreeze. We went to bed smelling flowers, sugar cookies, apples and cinnamon. We awoke this morning to the lingering skunk smell and Robb made the rounds outside trying to find our pesky visitor. He is no where to be seen, so I guess we go on with our day and hope he shows up again tonight when Robb is home waiting with the gun! Anyway, how was your weekend? :)
