My coming back from vacation horror story...

[twitterflix]

Well anyways, i went away on a weekend trip. For labor day and everything. Well yesterday i came home (a four hour trip) driving across newyork. I get out of my car to hear my old, and quite large dog barking weird, over by his dog house. My mom suggested he might need water so i walked over to him. As i got closer he got up and started coming up to me. I bend down to pet him and as i do, i see he's not walking right. I looked at his leg a little closer and flipped out. There was a LIVE SKUNK biting his leg and holding on to it. nevertheless i screamed and ran back to my dad. My dad went out with a rake and had to swat the thing 5 times before it got off my dogs leg. Then proceeded to yell at my brother to get the 20 gauge shotgun out of the gun closet with some shells. For you anti-hunters out there my dad did not get the skunk it still lives in my back yard somewhere. So i now have a skunk smelling dog and yard. My dog is fine, he didnt get rabies or anything from it which is a good thing. hilarious what the world coming too when skunks attack dogs and get away with it. jeepers....
