Back in the early '80s I lived in Brookline, Mass. Nice little suburb of Boston. Had a dog. Had skunks who took up residence under the porch. One night, coming home with the dog and my girlfriend (now the Missus), dog sighted on this thing on the lawn. Turned out to be Mr. Skunk. Dog charges. I yell stop! Dog thinks I'm pissed so freezes about 5' from Mr. Skunk. You know the rest of the story. Tomato juice helped, but was not the cure all. Several months later, an adolescent skunk managed to fall into a window well and could not get out. It kept scratching at the basement window trying to get in. We solved the problem with a piece of plywood for a ramp that we slid into the well, put a can of cat food at the top. In the morning, no skunk. I'm not sure which is worse, skunks or porcupines, when it comes to dogs. Porkies pose their own unique dangers and problems.
