Never A Dull Day At Work Part Deux

2008.09.05
Look at the poor little kitty, wandering around behind work.

Wait, that kitty has a white hat and white stripes. And why is the stinky kitty wandering around in the middle of the day and not running when I walk up to take pictures.

.12 gauge shotgun. That ought to take care of it. Except the little fella is too close to the retaining wall, so we can't use the 00 buck shot.

Yes, that is me out there playing the Godfather. I don't get my hands dirty, I just order the hit and watch it go down. Skunk should have paid me on time.

If you enlarge this one you can see that the slide is back and there is a puff of smoke in front of the barrel. Tonya did a good job capturing this one in action.

Like any good nerd, I'm checking out my email on my Blackberry Pearl while mass carnage is taking place just a few feet away.

The Great White Hunter struts back to his office.

We had a rabid skunk wandering around the parking lot behind work today. We don't have an animal control officer in our small town, and the dog catcher is on medical leave because of surgery. So who do you call? The sheriff, of course.

First they were going to use the shotgun, but the skunk was too close to the retaining all and they didn't want to damage the wall. So, they bring out the Glock .40. They then shot the skunk not once, not twice, but seven times. And the thing was still trying to get up.

One piece of advice, though, if someone is going to be firing a pistol outside of your office in the middle of the day, you should probably warn people. Because we had several customers get a little nervous when they heard the shots.

It has now, however, passed on to the big stinky place in the sky. Farewell, Flower, I barely knew thee.

MHJphotos Dennis ... this is one of the things I miss most about taking a 6 week hiatus! Not only do I get to come back to a new avatar (no more argyle socks?!) but I get to come back to puffs of smoke and 'stinky rabid "kitties"' I love it!

Creatively documented as always buddy!

bettyluvsduncan I'm sitting here shocked that the poor skunk was shot! He didn't do anything wrong (other than wander to the wrong part of town). So, yeah, he's a little stinky, but... oh its so sad!
