Skunks!

The other day, Soren and I were walking down the driveway to get the mail. We could see a person laying perfectly flat in the ditch across the street, their face pressed into the pipe that goes under the neighbor's driveway.

Hm.

We went to investigate and found that our neighbor had discovered an abandoned litter of skunks living there. She called the animal rescue people who came out to catch them.

Did you know that baby skunks don't have teeth and don't have the ability to spray yet? I didn't know that, but once they told me that we actually crossed the road to check it out better.



The rescue people were working on getting the little skunks out of the pipe, but it wasn't an easy task. Especially since their pole wasn't quite long enough. This called for Peter to the rescue! He came out with his enormous expandable pole. With that and a big wad of rolled up t-shirts they were able to scoot the little guys out of the pipe.



Aren't they cute?!
