Skunks!

The neighborhood has been entranced lately by about 6 baby skunks. The mother was apparently killed and left 6 babies behind. I didn't realize they could spray at such a young age, but some people found out the hard way! It ends up they can spray at 8 days old. Yikes!

I'm not sure what's going to happen to them, but for right now, they sure are cute! Just don't get too close...

I must admit to being glad we will be moved by the time they get to adulthood. Isn't that a bit selfish on my part? No one wants to kill them because they are so cute. And the animal control people don't want anything to do with them, either.
