My resident skunk seems angry
she lives under my house. We have an understanding. I leave her alone, she leaves me alone.

But tonight she's fighting with something. all sortsa nasty squealing coming from under the house. Then, I just heard her out front squealing. I saw her with a baby a few weeks ago - perhaps she's finally kicking him out.

1. Probably a turf-war with the raccoon.
Just wait until the skunk figures out the cat door.

PS - Do you ever sleep?

3. It's normal for me...
Squirrels, chipmunks, oppossum, bats, mice, etc. etc. etc.

4. I love 'em all
but I don't live in the country. I'm right in town. It's like Wild Kingdom here.

But the last two nights, all hell's broken loose.

5. Who said I lived in the country?
There is a stretch of woods between us and a golf course, though. Tons of animals love it there. Foxs, too! They're really cool looking in the moon light.

6. They don't break in much.
However, I was awakened a little while ago by feral cats either fucking or fighting on my front porch. I tend to think it was the former.

7. yes, that's a fine sound
the people across the street from me have a newborn baby. It cries a lot. Every time it does, I think one of my cats is having a fight.
