Although Christmas usually brings to mind sweet smells of gingerbread and cookies, we've awoken to a quite different smell this holiday season - Eau de skunk. We've been smelling our lovely neighborhood skunk since we moved to Glendale , but he paid us two very special visits in December. First he visited us on Christmas Eve (Scott saw him right outside our bedroom window). Then he partied with us a week later on New Year's Eve. He must have been a happy skunk that night, because the air was especially skunky.
We have an avocado tree in our front yard that's reportedly a skunk delicacy. Scott spotted a half-eaten avocado on our porch on New Year's day (see evidence #1). Hmm... Anyone have any advice? We tried sealing the windows, and Anna's keeping the air freshener next to the bed in case of emergency.
Hmmm, a New year's eve skunking. That HAS to mean good luck in '09!

Time to make that skunk go away!!! Isn't there a cat trap you can use with food inside of it?
