Killer Carey
I drove home from work with Mom tonight (on one of those dark country roads where you can't see anything until it's five feet in front of your car). In a split second I saw a large skunk loping across the road and a loud CLUNK followed by a horrific smell. I wailed the rest of the way home,
"I killed an animal! I killed an animal!"
Mom was more worried about the car. It still stinks and I have a lunch date tommorrow (with girlfriends, not a boyfriend - don't worry people). But I feel horrible... I've never killed animal... except that time I was given the task of killing the mouse that plagued our storage building (no one else would do it). I cried when I killed it and kept apologizing to the dead mouse as I gave it a proper funeral. Don't scoff. I give animals proper burial. We have a graveyard behind our house where my little bunnies are buried. *sniff* One died of cancer and the other died from a heart-attack. Poor little bunnies. Poor mouse. Poor skunk.
Sorry... as you can tell, I am an animal lover and a bit of a tree-hugger. I think I got it from my mama.

That skunk was just going to cheap thrils. He gambled and lost.
Do any damage to the car?
No damage, but I was afraid to look at the car lest I see a partial skunk still attached (disgusting thought, I know). Thankfully there were no guts or damage that I could see, but the car still reeeks.
You are sentimental. Never mind.
God Bless

I notice the new look. I going to bring back any of the artwork?
I don't know why I find this funny.
I see it more as "one less skunk to worry about."
Sorry about the car. Did you try removing the smell with tomatoes, I always wondered if that actually works.
Watch out World. Dangerous driver behind the wheel.
Oh, my dog broke his chain once and ran off and got sprayed by a skunk. He was drenched with... stink. He smelled awefully bad for at least 2 weeks! Thankfully it was summer so he could sleep outside.
I like your new layout! Blue is my favorite color :-) Oh, and thanks for adding me to your friends list! I've been meaning to link to you, but with my dad gone it has bee really hectic around here!
Yes, I am sentimental, Matthew, but not about everything... just animals and people... and I like to have a good cry during war movies.
I'll bring back some art work, don't worry. Being an artist myself, I can't stand not having art.
Sarah A - I suggested tomato juice to Mom, but we drive a BIG van and it would take a lot of tomatoes. Being the cheap person that I am, I'd rather smell skunk for a couple of weeks than spend a hundred dollars on tomato juice.
Leila - Now skunks will run when they see me coming down the road. Actually this one was running too... just the wrong way.
Nella - Sounds like a doggy thing to do. If we had a dog I'm sure it would smell of skunk frequently. Skunks are everywhere! I think it may be due to Spring - everything and everyone goes crazy.
Sarah G - Hehe... glad it made you laugh. My family thought I was hilarious. When one of rabbits died I wept and locked myself in the bathroom for an hour. That was a few years ago. Now I just cry or mope half the day and feel sorry for the animal. If Dumpling died I'd probably be hysterical. She's my baby.
YUK. I don't understand how some people can drink the V8 to begin with, and to spray my car with tomatoe juice, thank you very much.
P.S. Why does PB wear a mask?
I much rather eat tomatoes!
Hi Bob! Welcome!
