What a special dog & getting such an awesome kennel named after him--great honor & great dog!marilyn cozzensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-22678666506750564952016-07-30T01:30:08.399-08:002016-07-30T01:30:08.399-08:00Thanks for the recap on the legend of Skunk you ca...Thanks for the recap on the legend of Skunk you can't help but smile 😄🐾🐾.

Haha, I thought you had lots of skunks nesting in and around and Skunk was named Skunk because he got Skunked by the nesting skunks. Of course now that I see his photo and hear his story I remember reading you discovered him living with a trapper and aquired him that way. Sweet companions they are, clever boy, he had it made going from door to door as it was quite the buffet!<br /><br />tmcaleerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915609500340716584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-29261186634706263442016-07-29T19:22:55.619-08:002016-07-29T19:22:55.619-08:00I'm proud to say that I heard this story from ...I'm proud to say that I heard this story from Doug and Mickey in 2014, just prior to the Iditarod, on a trip to Alaska, but always fun to hear it again.

I will think of Skunk every Thanksgiving when I look at our turkey baking in the oven. 🦃 Perhaps, in doggie heaven, Skunk is thinking of those trap lines as he sits in his little red Chevy pick-up. <br /><br />Have a great day,<br /><br />Mary Alice <br />Maryalice Adamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-40896912904274423432016-07-29T09:53:28.861-08:002016-07-29T09:53:28.861-08:00Thanks for this story.

In fact, we read it each Thanksgiving...its kind of become a tradition, just like listening to Arlo Gutherie's "Alices Restuarant" on that special day of Thanks and Feasting! We too use our summer dining porch as a winter freezer...and our dog Willow pulls a "Skunk" on occasion and slips in there unnoticed for a feast of her own...I think all dogs have a lil "Skunk" in them!
