Petunia

 

I've mentioned before that while sitting in the Pergola in the evening we have been visited by various wildlife - raccoons, opossums and skunks.  They have never bothered us, and we are  generally ignored as they go about their business.

Lately, we have a problem.  A small-to-medium sized skunk that I named Petunia seems to be setting up a household under the boardwalk or the pergola.  She is friendly enough, but she does stink, and the idea of a brace of little skunkettes running around where we take our leisure is not something we can abide.

I've ordered a Havahart brand cage trap that should be here by Friday. Stay tuned.
