=Catching a Skunk is Tricky Business=


 * The fat thing was too big to fit in that bucket. I don't know why it thought it could hide in there. I'm telling you, when it laid eyes on me, it jumped out like there's no tomorrow and ran under the table so fast that all I saw was a streak of fur. I grabbed the broom...**

and began to slide the chairs aways from the table, all I could see was a black ball of fur hiding in the corner. I don't know why, but I decided to poke the big guy and at that moment he turned tail up and darted right at me!! As I screamed a fell over a chair and looked up to a skunk falling onto my head... Jessica Merchant

I moved out of the way just before the skunk landed on my head. All I could do was SCREAM!! Then I thought to myself, "It's either the skunk that has to go or me". I decided it was the skunk that had to go. I didn't take my eyes off of the skunk, while i planned my trap to catch it.... Jacques Moore

I thought to myself, what do I have that looks like an animal in this house? I remembered that I had and old Davy Crocket racoon hat in the closet. I decided to place the racoon hat on my son's remote control car thinking that may scare the skunk out of the house. I got the remote car ready and took aim. I pushed the joy stick forward and before I knew it.... P. Kelly

out comes the skunk. He was as swift as a cheetah. The skunk sprinted across the room in an open closet, and my son’s car, with the raccoon hat hanging on for dear life, was right behind him. “Oh no,” I thought as I quickly noticed that the closet’s light was out. As I slowly and anxiously crept in the closet I was surprised to see that the skunk was nowhere in sight and neither was my son’s remote controlled car. I nervously turned on the light and moved aside my black leather coat. Then, I pushed aside my dated pink and lavender sweaters, but there was still no sign of the skunk or the remote controlled car. I cautiously moved the joy stick backwards, and as the car carefully rolled back… K. Matthews

there was the skunk, sitting in the remote controlled card and wearing the Davy Corcket hat! What was I to do? I had the remote in my hand, but I wasn't sure if I was in control of the car anymore. I slowly stepped towards the door and the car moved slowly towards me. All of a sudden the car came full blast at me as I took off down the hallway! I was now being chased by the skunk!! As I ran frantically through the house I realized I was bigger than the skunk, I turned around and looked him square in the eyes... J. Merchant

and shot this crazy look back at him as if to say, "bring it on!" This must have confused the skunk because the car started to slow, and then came to a stop. He slowly got out of the car and stood on his back two legs as if to call my bluff. It was a showdown at this point. We began to slowly walk around in a circle, making certain that one didn't turn away from the other. Just then, I stopped in front of the open hallway closet. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it. The one thing that was going to help me catch this stinky little creature. I slowly reached in and pulled out.... J. Hutchinson

my baseball bat. As I started to swing, the poor little thing backed into the corner and started to cry. I stopped dead in my tracks and realizrd this is just a small animal that I'm about to smash with a bat. I dropped the bat and calmly walked to the back door and opened it for the creature to leave. All of a sudden the skunk stood up and said, "I'm Pepe Le Pew's sister and I have come to make you a millionare". My jaw dropped to the floor! The skunk walked up to me and said her name was Rosy Le Pew and she started telling me.... P. Kelly

how she never meant any harm to me or my family, she just wanted to come and present me with a check to help me pay off my student loans and give me a bonus for choosing teaching as a career. She said, " I realize that teaching is not a glamorous profession, and often it goes unappreciated for all the hard work that is put into the it." I was shocked!! I never would've dreamed of such a thing. Just then, the doorbell rang. I asked Rosy to wait as I walked to the front door. I opened the door and there stood Ed McMahon. He said... J. Hutchinson

, “Has anyone seen a skunk around here?” Then, he went on to say, “A skunk has been going around perpetrating as if she has come to work some type of miracle for people, when in fact she has stolen several Publisher Clearing House Checks. He continued, “Meanwhile, while you are shocked at your winnings, she is secretly stealing your valuables or anything that she thinks she can pawn. As I stood there in disbelief, I slowly turned around to see if the skunk was in sight, and there she was in plain sight peeping into my wallet. Ed McMahon and I both with no hesitation dashed into her direction but all of a sudden … K. Matthews

she scurried towards the doggy door with a paw full of money. She was almost through the door, when Ed McMahon and I pounced on her. We were wrestling with Rosy Le Pew trying to get the money from her. After about 5 minutes, we realized that the fury thing we were wrestling with was not Rosy. She had put the Davy Crocket raccoon hat in the middle of us. As we anxiously looked for her, she was no where in sight. All of a sudden we heard a whimper in the corner, as we moved closer to the sound, we noticed it was...... J. Moore
