Something else just occurred to me: Helen's late husband George told me that when a skunk hangs around, s/he's probably sick and dying. I had a skunk follow me when I lived on acreage and it was as though s/he was waiting for me. I was afraid because at that time I had a Border Collie that I feared would go after it. George told me that the skunk was probably dying and, sure enough, one morning I went outside and found the poor little thing dead in my yard.
