Whew last night Daddy skunk and now Momma this a.m.

My dogs, Kismet and Cookie, startled me awake with the sound of something (or someone) tearing apart the side or back of my coach. Of course, they sounded off (like good dogs do), and I'm hoping that my neighbors appreciate their vigilance. It 'is' only 4 o'clock

After Kismet getting a full blast of DADDY skunk aroma in the face the previous night..... this time I thought I was being clever and opened my back door (after turning on the lights). To my surprise, here is MOMMA trying to dig down somewhere around my back steps, on the porch, under or whereever.... she was in a panic.

Then I heard why, at least one baby was crying for her from a nest or something caught underneath my home. Didya know they sound just like puppies in distress? The baby(ies) were soo close I thought maybe I could move something heavy away  so she could get to it. But, momma did not appreciate or understand my efforts.......... not only did she spray me directly but also filled my whole area with her aroma while she sat a short way from her babies in distress. If I turned the light off and on again, she would move a foot or two then spray again.

Well now for the second night, myself and my dogs are pretty sick from the pew. And, I am spending a second night bathing, trying to get this stuff off. Luckily Kismet could get a haircut which helped immensely. But, I refuse to shave my head......... well maybe, it could be a fashion statement? Grey Panther Ms. Clean? LMAO  Just don't laugh very loud if you see me in lots of hats.

I'm sorry to my neighbors Sandy and Sandy, I know this had to be pretty bad for you too. And, to MOMMA, I did try. I plan to go out in the a.m. when it is light and check out that side of my home again (hopefully momma will have gone off somewhere).
