I'm Ready For My Close-up .......

Mr. DeMille, I'm ready ... I'm ready Mr. DeMille.  I want to be the STAR of the SHOW!!!   Oh I'm SO excited!!!  I'm ready for my closeup .... Mr. DeMille.  Wait ... let me pull up my skirt a little and mark this spot ...............

Mr. DeMille ........ Mr. DeMiiiiillllllleeeeeee ... where are you?????   No really, wait for it .............


Come on Tonto ... the Skunk Whisperer rides again!!!  I saddled up and headed out to the Wild West pasture to secure the fences for the umpteenth time.  I could set up the trap again, but that's a lot of work, not to mention stress while carrying a bag full OMG-please-don't-spray-me!!  

Upon checking, I found two places where they tried to breach the battlements and failed.  YAY!!  Then I spotted two NEW holes they used enter under the fence.  Big sigh.  Gosh these guys can dig!!  I pounded in two more panels.  Something around here must smell awfully good for them to be so darn persistent.  Of course I'm just as stubborn as they are!!  

The last hole I filled with grass because I think that's where the fox is coming through.  If the grass is gone, then I know his access point.  It is kind of fun to see the possums and the fox .... the skunks, not so much.


Surprisingly, this quilt turned out better than I expected.  I didn't really care for the material, I was just trying not to waste any.  Once sandwiched together and quilted, it will be on the sale lot.


I know ... THREE videos in one day??  But this one is the cutest by far.  He went directly to the spot the skunk semi-laid down.  Oh yes ..... the good smells of the old west!!

    Pepee or whatever you call him is sure persistent, isn't he?
    I agree, the quilt turned out beautifully. I didn't doubt it for a minute. :)
    Also, yes, you saved the best video to the last. Cooper is so sweet!

      Yes he is!! Actually the first skunk I've seen in several months. Hoping it stays that way!

    Did you put Peanut Butter near the camera lens??? Now that was a Close Up, which is better than a Close Call, which is better than Clothes Off and take an hour long shower!

      Nope ... nothing. But I did put the camera only 5 inches above the ground. Apparently they have very good smellers. I'm thinking it smelled me on the camera. Thank goodness no long shower!!

    That's a big skunk! I would not want to be sprayed by that one.
