Saturday evening Mark and I decided to take a walk around our neighborhood. Just as we were rounding a corner, we saw this small animal in a person's yard.
At first I'm thinking "that's a funny looking cat." Then I saw the white stripes, it was no cat.
It was a SKUNK. All of sudden we saw its tail start to rise.
It was only about 10 feet away from us with his tail toward us. Mark and I recognized what it was at the same time. Mark said "It's time to go." We did a very quick 180 and quickly sped back towards our house.
It never sprayed but none the less we did run the rest of the way home (a long walk had lost its appeal). While our walk was cut short, we got a nice little run it. My heart rate was definitely up.
When I got home I did research on how to keep them away from your yard. Basically don't leave stuff outside that it might want to eat. We should be good.

Hey Laura -
I stumbled on your blog from another person's link and remembered you guys are in Illinois now. Welcome back! Aaron & Bekah told us you guys were here (I think my grandma Vi mentioned it too). Good to read about your life - maybe we can catch up sometime. We're in downtown Chicago now. All the best!
