Pepe le Peee-uuuu

That blasted skunk is back! He is living under our house! Mom went on the internet and what she found said that they don't like mothballs so she put some under the house. Guess what! He doesn't care if there are mothballs there or not. He has a nest underneath the kitchen in the crawlspace and it is warm and there is water and it is right close to the trashcans so he can help himself to whatever food he wants. On trash day when there was nothing to eat, he came in through the dog door and was eating MY FOOD! I yapped and yapped and then ran into mom's room and hid under the blankets so I would not get sprayed again. Mom went into the kitchen and I heard her say "HOLEY CROW! You get out of here, you little beggar!" And he hissed at her and scrambled outside real quick.

Mom called the Critter Gitter and he said he would come and trap the skunk, but, guess what? They "dispose" of them humanely is what he said and mom says NO WAY! She thought they would carry him off to somewhere he could have a better life. But the guy said that is illegal because of rabies or some such thing. She says it's not that little guys fault that he is hungry and homeless........and oh, no, I could hear it coming. Mom is a big softee. Mom is a sucker for every homeless creature out there! She says, okay we will keep the trashcan lids closed tight and put hot sauce on the bags and keep him out of the trash and I got really happy thinking that if he couldn't eat, he would go away somewhere else and THEN................SHE BOUGHT HIM HIS OWN BOWL!

No kidding! She looked on the internet to see what pet skunks could eat and GUESS WHAT! Skunks can eat cereal and bread and CHEESE and ham and turkey and macaroni and rice and fruit and all kinds of things. Some of the BEST scraps can go in that stinker's bowl!

I watched carefully yesterday and sandwich scraps went into that bowl and one pizza bone that I would have been HAPPY to eat and leftover cereal from the little boys breakfast and some wilted grapes they didn't eat and leftover pasta that she said nobody wanted ( I guess I am NOBODY!) That stinking skunk had a HEAP of food! There was even ham and cheese scraps that fell out of Justin's wrap sandwich! I danced around the bowl and let mom know that I was hungry and willing to go without my dog food and eat scraps but mom said "No Way, you are getting to be a pot bellied pig" and I danced some more to show her that is MUSCLE, it is NOT FAT! But, did she listen? Oh, no!

About 10 o'clock last night I could smell that stinking skunk come out of his den and I heard him crossing the side yard to go to that bowl. I heard him slurping up that good food and I yipped and yapped and them ran into mom's room and got under the blankets. There is NO WAY I am getting sprayed again! NO WAY!

I got a quick look at him out the living room window and let me tell you, if there is ANY pot bellied pig at this house, it is Pepe le Peee-uuu. He is one fat rascal. I hope it is fat and not a bunch of skunk babies that will REALLY eat all the scraps!
