[Everything doTERRA] Re: How to Get Rid of a Skunk?

thanks for that! Yeah I am hoping she doesn't get sprayed but she
thinks the skunk is a toy, so I am sure if she's not careful she'll
get sprayed and knowing my luck it'll be when I or my husband are with
her lol. Someone is suppose to be coming to get the skunk, but not
sure when.
