Skunks are lovely creatures in their own way, and more beneficial than
harmful.

Agreed. The only time I did anytning about our skunks (and they are
common) was when they took up residence under the front porch. A handful
or two of moth balls spread around convinced them to move. Of course,
then my wife said the skunks smelled better than the moth balls :-).

You have to really irritate a skunk to get it to spray. I've even chased
them out of the garden with no problem. Just do it gently.

And any dog dumb enough to attack a skunk more than once should be shot
to improve the breed :-).
