Maya’s First Night in Colorado Springs

Posted on June 9th, 2008 by Jason

Look at the little Maya!! Wow, she is so small. This was June, 2007, and it was her first night after we brought her home from the Humane Society. She was so excited just to be able to get some human attention. On one of the many walks I took her on (teaching her that OUTSIDE is where you potty), we ventured too close to the dumpster. Maya ran around the corner of the dumpster just before I got there and ran into and VERY surprised skunk. Pepe le Pew immediately turned and sprayed curious little Maya right in the nose!!! Maya was immediately rushed inside and given her first bath with the only tomato substance we had on hand….tomato soup. It didn’t do much for the stink so poor Maya (and our house) smelt of skunk for weeks. After her skunk adventure, she explored the house, played with her brother Toby and eventually wore herself out. She was out like a light.
