Lupe found it first and it squirted me when I went to pick it up - such a strange behavior. I had always heard of them doing this, but played with them as a kid hundreds if not thousands of times and never had it happen. I have only seen it two or three times - always when a dog was present (sort of like what happens with skunks )

Did it bite you? I was surprised to see any blood.

You can sure see how well it blends into the background!
