Are you sleeping brother skunk?

We had several skunks in our yard lately.  Like clock work at 7pm 2-5 skunks could be spotted walking around and playing in our yard as well as close neighboring yards.  I can say they were relative cute to watch scampering about, but they became a total nuisance to the dogs.

Our dog, Lulu, was sprayed twice and several other  neighbor were sprayed multiple times as well.  Campbell's must have loved us, soaking the canines in multiple cans of their tomato soup to rid them of the smell.  Ultimately a neighbor hired a trapper to have the skunks relocated.  10 skunks and 1 raccoon moved away.

The twins haven't fully caught on the skunks are really gone yet despite my attempts to tell them the skunks had moved.  In fact, this morning I caught them trying to convince each other that their pets, they affectionately dubbed the "Nunks", were just sleeping.  They were "night night" and would wake up later.

Here's a little video I captured of the moment:
