Beware Beth curses like a sailor in this thing.
Many of you are concerned about the fate of the skunk. We just left it there and by the morning it was gone. Beth thought he might get too fat eating the garbage and get stuck in the “honey tree.” But he did not.
OMG! But then what……….?
You can’t leave us hanging. What happened to the poor thing. I mean it was just being a skunk, so if this has a bad ending for the skunk, I guess I don’t want to know.
Como terminó la historia?? poor Beth!! lol
But what happened next?
My favorite part, I’m scared for you. Awesome.
LOL, that skunk was pretty calm considering all the yelling that was going on. Did “Peppe” eventually find other accommodations?
that just made my night.. you two are so sweet to each other
please tell beth i wouldn’t want anyone else to have my back in a skunk situation either.
haha i love the domestic adventures of you and Beth that are caught on camera, they are amazingly hilarious!
i hope you left the door propped open for awhile so it could wander back out. Beth was making me laugh!
Please update. What happened to poor little Pepe Le Pew??? Was he able to get out? Did he get you on his way out? Enquiring minds want to know! LOL
OMG that was an awesome look into life with Jorge and Beth. I LOVE you guys.
Beth had me rolling!!!! This was a great way to start the day.
Ok. What about the skunk????? How did you get rid of it without getting sprayed????
Did he spray???? We need much more of this story.
Lol that was a bit like Paranormal Activity except it features a skunk instead of a ghost and was more entertaining:)
Haha wonderful.
Don’t go near those things. Besides stinking, they bite and scratch. Take it from a southern gal. :p
Beth is so cute. I would have reacted very similarly.
That’s why you should always have a bunch of tomato juice on hand. That’s what the Partridge Family bathed in when they got sprayed by a skunk.
I. Love. Beth.
I hope you got the skunk out!
As good as the rat video. Love it. Beth is awesome in these situations
lol, Watching this was the perfect start to my morning. I hope there’s a follow up post!
Beth. Language. I’m still trying to get my 4 year old to understand that was a skunk, not a fuck.
loooooool, that answer made my day.
Jeff: I thought the same thing…Partridges, tomato juice! I loved watching this, but I’m surprised Beth let you live after recording her…lol.
Woah! How did the skunk get out? And does your garage stink to high heaven????
Beth cracks me up..Beth was right..you should get the fuck away from there.Skunks have rabies.
LOOOOVE Beth!!! In those situations I curse like a sailor too (not that I’ve had any skunk situation, though)
But what happened to the little creature???
(BTW, this was more entertaining and suspenseful than a “suspense” movie I was watching last night)
Are you serious??? So then what happen? YOU CANT leave us hanging! Please tell me he/she got out safely… now I am gonna worry about the little guy! Remember…TOMATO JUICE gets the stink out. Lots & lots of tomato juice♥
SO thoroughly enjoyable!!!! Everyone is asking how it got out but I’m wondering how it got IN??!! Great way to start out a Wednesday morning. And ditto re: Beth. Beth, you realize we all adore you, right?
LMAO! That would be me, re: the way Beth was acting.
How’d you get the skunk out?! (Beth is HYSTERICAL, by the way!)
TOO FUNNY
Beth? Adorable! Yes, totally freaked out, but still adorable!
You two are so cute. Thanks you so much for sharing part of your everyday life with all of us. You guys really make my day. I look forward to seeing whats next. Love you both Donna. Oh when will you have your new address so we can send you stuff. Happy new home.
Okay. Beth’s wrong. It most assuredly is funny. And you’re even funnier for teasing her so much.
Here’s the scoop, city kids, Skunks aren’t given to attacking and only spray if cornered (which yours was) and given no other choice. Your best bet is to prop the door open and wait until morning. Chances are very good your visitor, sensing that he’d been discovered, would leave. In the future, your outside trash should be in a can with a lid.
Oh yeah–PS–Skunks don’t all have rabies. They are not born with it-they have to be infected by it just like any other warm blooded animal.
LOLOLOL!
Please please please make more of these. This is just too funy!
You two are animal magnets.
You had me laughing… skunk is bigger than Smidge and Pip… keep them away …
Dude…
Skunks as pets?…just ask this kid: http://www.loftsofmerchantsrow.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pet-skunk.jpg
poor skunk
Classic! There’s nothing like having close encounters of the furry kind.
Still laughing. The best is when Beth tells you that this is serious stuff, and it’s not funny during which time we hear you laughing. Love you two together. Thanks for sharing.
Awweee it’s just a baby skunk. c:
Poor little cornered skunk. But they do defend themselves radically,
.
oh man must be an epidemic-we live in arizona and my 5 lb yorkie was just sprayed last week by a skunk-came in the house and our house reeked for a week!!!!!!!! WORST SMELL EVER…………………
Okay, not as funny as the rats in Hawaii but still pretty funny. Me thinks little creatures seek you and Beth out? LOL
One of my dogs got sprayed a few years ago when a skunk dug its way into our fenced in yard. My poor dog was trapped… the skunk was between her and the door to get in. Thank God for a great groomer!
This was so much fun to watch! We’ve had similar incidents (I guess we all have), and they always play out the same way . . . mayhem but lots of laughs.
Jorge,
Skunks aren’t a big deal. Live by the moto Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati. That will
see you through!
LOL!!! These are becoming my favorite part of your blog…
I’m surprised Beth doesn’t beat you for posting this!!!
LOL…I love how you are chuckling and staying so calm while Beth is freaking out. I think the rat thing was worse than a cute little skunk…and how did you guys keep the dogs out of the excitement??? Mine would have been going ape shit crazy
My first thought when Beth posted on FB was a moose, so a skunk doesn’t seem all that bad ;D
Man, Jorge, you’re hair is getting really long! Before long, you’ll be able to lop it off and donate it to Locks of Love.
*your
So… welcome to Canada, eh.
What you had dare was what we call da native fauna. Jest don’t tick ‘em off… all he was looking for was some leftovers.
Put your trash in cans with tight lids, or next Mr. Raccoon and Mr. Possum will come a visiting. They have much worse table manners than Pepe’.
Three words: Metal Garbage Can.
Hysterical vid!
LMAO!
Love you both!!
xx
Hahahaha suerte que se fué, rats,skunks… you need build a zoo.lol
OMG!!! Sitting right there, almost as bad as the rats!!
jajajaja pobre Beth, cómo terminó la historia?
Beth – this isn’t f-ing funny! This is SERIOUS!
You – (kind of quietly) giggle giggle giggle
So Great! as great as the rat(s) in Hawaii!
(I curse like a sailor too:))
Okay.. you have to let us know.. what happened to the skunk?? BTW, my kids and I love your blog. Welcome to Canada.
Hey guys – We have the occasional skunk visitor and honestly – we adore them. We feed neighborhood cats and the food attracts the occasional skunk (or raccoon, or possum) too. We are careful to be quiet when we realize they are on the porch. We do tend to gently close the front door (in the rare event they spray, which is almost never), and we huddle in the front window to watch them. They are such beautiful, non-aggressive animals. I love the way they waddle when they walk.
I know – people say NEVER feed them, but what am I going to do – put up a sign “this food is for stray cats only”.
If I could get a vet to de-scent one for me, I would have a pet skunk in a heartbeat.
He got away? That’s too bad. I think Beth would have looked good in this: http://flypaper.bluefly.com/images/anna-sui-fall2007.jpg
I was watching this video and then I clicked out the youtube channel and watched the rat video…sooo funny!
Well I have to say the skunk didn’t creep me out like the rats did. He was a cutie like Flower. I felt Beth’s fear! Great video.
Hee hee…well, if a skunk freaked her out that much, she’d have gone bonkers back where I come from. I once discovered a muskrat in the dog food. My hand was inches from its toothy little snout before I realized what I was looking at and snatched it back.
Beth was hilarious!
Reminded me of my wife the night the Coyotes surrounded us while taking the dog out…. or when she heard that we have rattlesnakes here…. and Black Widows… come to think of it she has done a lot more swearing since we moved to British Columbia…
It´s beautiful but…I´ve never smelt a skunk. Is it true it smells awful?
yes! I’ve been waiting for so long to a good quality follow up to the Rat Incident! Beth delivers I fine scared as shit performance yet again!!!!!
you and beth have quite the adventures with the critters. she cracks me up and you stay so calm.
I haven’t been her in awhile and I missed this. I almost hurt myself laughing. When I was a kid there was an incident with a FROG IN THE TOILET (I say it in all caps because that was how my mother kept saying it over and over). No idea how it got there, but all of the jumping up and down and chain-reaction screaming that happened anytime any of us accidentally bumped into each other while staring into the toilet should have been caught on film. I think eventually my little brother scooped him into a strainer and put the lid of a pan on top of it, and then ran like hell through the house and let him go out in the yard. Poor little frog. The amount of flipping out we did for something that posed exactly zero danger to us… image if it had been a skunk.We would have gotten sprayed for sure.
