We have a laundry that is attached to the house on one side of our front porch,and the other morning I heard some rattling coming out of it.I took my dog outside to see what it was, at first we thought it was the cat, but low and behold, it was a skunk foraging through the cat food. The dog got sprayed a little, but she got scared a lot. She chased it off and got treats for the rest of the day.
