Hehehe!!!! So THAT's the dog story I needed to hear!!! You had me sitting here giggling through the whole thing. It sure does make me feel a lot better about raccoons and possums! We haven't seen or smelled a skunk, knock on wood!
As for Eliot...poor boy, he didn't know what he had gotten into, did he?? New dogs, new smells.... :) He did know where to find safety though. That's where I'd head, straight to your house!!! :D :D :D
