Apparently there is a full-on skunk epidemic in Norman. Pinto (the idiot dog) narrowly escaped being sprayed again last night. This time the skunk was in OUR BACKYARD, and we saw the whole chihuahua-on-skunk conflict go down. Pinto, for no reason, suddenly freaked out and zoomed full speed out the doggie door to our backyard, barking wildly. Of course we followed him and turned on the backyard flootlight. He ran right up to a big skunk that was about 15 feet away from our back door. He was freaking out and barking at it right in its face. Fortunately, the skunk only hissed at him and got in a threatening posture. We opened the back door and were screaming at Pinto to come back into the house. Fortunately he did finally come back inside, only narrowly escaping another spraying.
Also, our dogs have never had a flea problem… but in the past month they’ve had fleas crawling all over them. It’s disgusting. I’ve given both of them multiple flea baths, but you’re only supposed to do that about once every 2 weeks, and the fleas always come back within a few days. I put some frontline on both of them last night, and as of right now, the fleas are still there. They’re all supposed to be dead within 24 hours of application, so if I still see any fleas by 9:00 pm tonight, I’m demanding a refund!
Norman is a zoo now, apparently.
In other news, law school sucks and I miss my husband. He feels the same way.
