Unwelcome visitor

Here I was, minding my own business, coming back to the house after
feeding my outside crew. I was walking up the path with my honor guard,
Willa, Penny, Walter and Lola, and as usual, they went running ahead -
and came to a screeching halt. I was wondering what caused them to lock
up their brakes, so to speak, when I saw the cause - a skunk! Now, I
don't like skunks, and the cats know to keep a wide berth. The skunk saw
me and stomped his feet - warning me not to come closer. I went over to
the window and tapped on it; DH was sitting in the kitchen, doing a VERY
important thing - holding the kittens. He put them down and opened the
door, then quickly closed it. He looked through the window, and I
pointed at the skunk, then stomped at it. Skunk was not impressed, and
went on eating Braden's cat food I had put there not 10 minutes before.
Huh. I kicked snow at him - still not impressed. After several face
fulls of snow, he decides to leave. He walked by Willa, and rushed her -
she levitated backwards about 5 feet, but luckily she did not get
sprayed. At that point, I had had it. I grabbed the floor broom we use
to clean the snow off the cars, and went after him. I ran up behind him
and gave him a good shove up the behind with the broom. He whipped
around and looked at me, then brought his weapon to bear. I rolled him
with the broom. He seemed shocked that someone would dare to do that to
him, and turned around again. I rolled him 2 more times before he
decided to leave the area. None of us got sprayed, thank goodness.

However, I think we will have to burn the broom.

The next-to most recent time I was close to a skunk I had not cats or
dogs with me and we simply walked by each other on opposite sides of
the road. He made the night smell a tiny bit different but there was
only a trace of skunk odor and, frankly, I liked seeing him out
there.

The _last_ time I saw a skunk up close I was having to convince da
Bear (big black Lab) that the nice kitty did _not_ want to play and
keep little Samantha (Shi Tzu who is a puppy now but was a young puppy
then) from going after the monster. As the leashes became wrapped
around me and the situation got desparate, the skunk ambled into the
trees across the street.

so I just keep my distance.
