Skunks running amok in East Boston

Fabulously Out There reports she was sprayed by one of the gazillion skunks that have made Jeffries Point their home - as she was walking home, minding her own business one night on Webster Street:

Oh. My. Fucking. God. The smell was just awful. I raced home and managed to get rid of the smell by using a layer of multiple body scrubs and shower gels. No one will ever call me a product whore again and laugh. Then, naturally, I figured out that Fabulous Dog also had a patch of skunk on his back and Lani also had one, on her head…so then we had to do the same body scrub/shower gel treatment on both dogs.

And now she's on a mission to, among other things, get the city to do something and get people to stop putting out food for stray cats:

YOU ARE FEEDING THE SKUNKS. I can't even tell you how often I have seen skunks eat the cat kibble while the cats stay in safe distance. Stop it.

David Prior reports what happens when one of your dogs gets loose and decides to go after a skunk, which does what skunks do, after which the dog runs right into the house. You know it's pretty bad when National Grid shows up because the downstairs neighbor called to report what he thought was a gas leak.

Baby skunks are cute, but best to leave them be.
