I've got to be completely honest with you, I've never really hated skunks until this weekend. In fact, I always thought they were kind of cute. And besides that awful odor you smell from time to time, I've never had a person run-in with a skunk. Sunday night Nick and I came home and our house smelled like someone had chopped up 1,000 onions and cooked them up with 500 cloves of garlic. It was disgusting and we had no idea what the smell was from. We sniffed around for awhile
