Guess Who's Coming to Dinner??

Gladys was getting ready for lunch and Dick was
coming down the walk...when suddenly she popped
from under the porch. Dick recognized a crisis in
black and white.

She waved her tail at him, then charged, giving
Dick a run for his money. She chased him right up the walk
and down the driveway.

Dick snuck back around the house, gathered his weapons,
and called Ted who offered to
bring his dog Trouble over. The shotgun was poised
next to the door ready
for the next appearance.

Gladys and Dick had dinner, things quieted down.

In the late afternoon Dulcie and Olivia showed up
for a visit.

Just after Dulcie came in the mudroom, Dick
mentioned his visitor. Together they looked out the
window and there she stood next to the fountain.
The skunk took a step and fell over. Dulcie
said shoot it, Dick cautioned her about her car
just behind the skunk in the driveway.

Dick dispensed with the skunk hoe with the while Dulcie,
Olivia and Gladys watched at the windows.

The house filled with Eau de Peu and the
skunk took a dirt nap. Everyone was relieved.

The skunk was apparently rabid.
