November 16, 2009: Early on Monday morning, Brí wanted to go outside. Bó followed as always. She turned and trotted over to the backyard and stood and stared. I turned a flashlight on the object that seemed to intrigue her; it looked like a cat. It then turned and came rushing towards us?a skunk. I dragged her back into the house?Bó came traipsing after her as always. Naturally, she wanted to go straight back outside. I waited and let her out a few minutes later. I had to give her closure, otherwise she'd bug me all night. She ran straight to the backyard to meet her knew friend. The skunk was gone, but every time she's in the backyard?particularly at night?Brí will search for that animal again. Years ago, Lír killed a skunk in the same area. At the time, he was a fully grown Irish Wolfhound, so it wasn't a problem for him; he also managed to avoid getting sprayed. I fear that a little puppy like Brí wouldn't be that lucky. So, it's time to start sealing up the backyard to make sure that skunk can't return.
