He trapped it thinking it was wise. I tried to tell him no. He got along ok and the city came and carried it away in the cage. I worry about Barney as he charges things without thinking also. We have skunk smell every once in a while as the neighbors keep cat food out all the time. Chance is looking really clean white and black.L.

We don't get a lot of brilliant Fall colour, unlike the east coast, but usually if it stays sunny and clear we get a decent show.
