Last night sometime, a car hit a skunk on the road in front of our home. It apparently lost its tail in the collision and made it off the road and died under my car. 🙁  It is always so sad to see wildlife die on the road or on the side, but this enterprising girl, I think was one of the five who I saved years ago). She comes “home” every year to have her babies which is a skunk’s way. So, she crawled under the comfort of my car and passed away.  The smell was tremendous and when I hit the front door this morning, I was bowled over by its intensity. With eyes watering, I followed the source of the smell and found her gone. I had to get her out from under my car and put her in the ditch on the other side of the road so the raptors would find her. I smell terrible- my car reeks- our carport smells. Eight showers later- I still smell her lingering odor.  Thankfully, the barn cats kept their distance and Brandi was in the house so she died in peace. Poor girl. I looked for babies, but they hide them so well and there are so many blackberry bushes right now in our back pastures, I doubt I could find them. Thank God for Nature’s Miracle because I am here to tell you that tomato juice does not work.
