Catch and Release


Last night Hector arrived home around 7pm and I made a delicious rib roast in my Baby George Forman rotisserie so we ate dinner before tackling the skunk problem. Skunk #1 spent the day in his cage until Hector got home with a big cardboard box to cover the cage. We do not want any more spraying or skunk smell for a long, long time. I won't bore you with the details but Hector loaded the pest in the truck and took him about 7 miles away to the seaside cliffs of Palos Verdes where there is lots of open land and horse property for the skunk to roam and live.


Hector said that he opened the trap and the skunk took off for the bushes. Now we needed to set up the trap again to catch the 2nd skunk. When we went to bed last night the trap was still empty but this morning we have another stinky guest in the cage. Yay!! Tonight this critter will be released into the same area as the first one so they can be reunited and live free. Just not under our house, please!
