G'morning y'all.... today's local wildlife encounter is with Francis the Friendly Skunk...... So I wander into our bedroom and happen to look out our back window, just in time to catch this gorgeous, long-haired skunk amble up from a tree to our window. All I can think is "...wait. That's a skunk. Skunk. SHIT, IT'S A SKUNK!!!!!! DON'T SAY A WORD, KEEP STILL, KEEP QUIET - OMG, GRAB MR. SMARTIES SO HE CAN SEE HIS FIRST SKUNK!!!!!!!" Watch the skunk for a split second, dash out of the room and grab Mr. Smarties and whisper in his ears "shhhhhhh, don't say a word, I have something to show you!" :Daddy intrigued by my madcap behavior is following along, wondering what the holy heck I'm up to. In the few seconds I'm gone, Francis appears to have toddled off to who knows where behind our building as we can't find him anywhere. So now in the last week alone, I've come face to face with 3 teen-aged raccoons trying to bust their way into my apartment, followed by a face tpo face encounter with a fat big 'ol possum a few days later and now this lovely encounter with Francis. (Who really was a beatuiful skunk, quite striking and adorable.) Now you might be thinking "So what? They're typical animals" and I would agree with you. However, someone forgot to mention to said animals that I LIVE DOWNTOWN IN A CITY OF OVER 150,000 PEOPLE. This ain't the fucking farm - that's holly's place!!!! So anyone want to come up and explain to these critters that they should think about relocating to the country where they belong?
