Laying in a hammock outside my camper bout 10 pm just enjoying the stars. Garner SP in Concan Texas. My little dog was tied up outside. I heard him pattering around in the leaves and then he ran under the hammock. So I put my hand down to pet him as he ran underneath.
His tail felt awful bushy. I looked down in horror at the SKUNK I had just petted as he looked up at me in the hammock. My little dog was watching calmly from the rug where he'd been sleeping. That was the longest 3 seconds of my life, until the skunk slowly ambled away.
