Oh yes, had a little visitor today we could have done without!
At 2pm we noticed a funny smell on the upstairs landing but not in the bedrooms - weird. Hubby was afraid he was going to have to make a foray into the loft. (We've had racoons up there in the past.)
But he looked outside and there was a skunk writhing around on the back lawn! We called Animal Control in Brampton and they made a quick response and dealt with the little fella v. professionally. The officer said the animal had distemper.
All the while this was going on our resident cardinal was singing away!

glad that they were able to come so quickly, we have one at work and I'm always on the look out for "Peppy" as I walk in :D
