We haven’t had a skunk in our backyard for two years. I assume they were all living under a neighbor’s house and were exterminated. Justifiable. Skunks are pretty to us but a pest to the rest of the world.
That’s why I was surprised to see this old friend.
Check him out; it’s Glamour Skunk.
If you recall, for a while we had plain striped skunks, then we assumed they bred their way into being the skunks with swoops not stripes, then all we saw were these skunks with starburst tails. And then one day … no skunks.
I would think if all the skunks were dead, then we would be starting over with common striped skunks, but no. Evidently the line lives on in this one lonely Glamour Skunk.

Imagine the effect on local real estate prices if it becomes known that instead of regular skunks you have Glamour Skunks!
(now I’m imagining an informal HOA against dog barking, protected not by a letter-sending committee but by a team of skunks that send dogs back indoors Extra Fragrant.)
KC – I imagine instead little neighborhood girls would run toward the glamour skunks crying “Pretty Kitty!”
