I was awakened just about an hour ago by the sounds of all three of my beagles.When I looked out the window I couldn't see anything,but the dogs were so worked up that I had to investigate. So, I grabbed my flashlite and went to check it out.I new something was wrong when the dogs wouldn't come out of there box but still kept barking.It was then that I noticed the skunks nose sticking out from UNDER the dog's box.Quite a touchy situation.I managed to coax the dogs out of their box and away from their pen,hoping that the skunk would vacate if we gave him some space,but wasn't going anywhere.So,I started rocking the dog box back an forth until he came out and started literally chasing me and the dogs around the yard.Enough! I went inside,grabbed my bow and 2 bheads,went back out and dispatched the little critter.The dogs and I were relieved.My camera battery was dead so it's charging.Pics to follow.
