A morning nature encouter

Still sick, coughing up gunk, but decided on a short walk this morning. While walking by a second of metal fencing that come right up to the sidewalk I suddenly came across a small skunk. I just stopped in my tracks as it was 3 feet away from me. It noticed me and slowly trotted away. Smelling skunks in our area is common - actually seeing them is rarer.

No harm no foul and no stinky.

SKUNK!

I changed my normal morning walk pattern (I hurt my back again) and coming up the sidewalk was Fluffy.

I don't know if it's the same skunk that has been stinking up the neighborhood lately but - they were a big one.

I stood still, feeling very calm observing Fluffy as it took a right turn into a driveway. I was able to watch it jump up a very low wall (it took a few moments) then disappear into someone's back yard.

I don't think should be out and about now - but it's been in the 30-40 degrees F locally.
