Going To Ground
Come February/March, its the beginning of skunk season.
In the woods along side my fence theres a huge ditch which mother skunks love to take up residency to whelp out their young. Skunks are surprisingly tough and territorial and I've actually seen them kill via strangulation any encroaching opossum. Hannah feels the same way and when she came up one afternoon cover in mud, I had to go investigate.
She just about had gone to ground as needed.
