Bear vs. Skunk

One of Becca's favorite features of the new house is the fact that the backyard has two orange trees. Much to our surprise, we were told by our neighbor that there is an orange-burglar that preys on our innocent fruits. Yes, we have our own skunk. Becca immediately googlified how to catch/deter/kill/befriend the little critter. She came up with using traps, bright lights, etc., to get rid of the skunk. I have a better plan (and one again you'll see that we're losers)...

The whole plan depends on Bear's wits and cunning, and some powdered sugar. We will turn Bear in to a skunk, using the powdered sugar for his stripes, and he will infiltrate the neighborhood skunk gang. Who would be able to tell the difference between the average 10 pound skunk and our 160 pound powdered-sugar-skunk? Exactly. No one. There's a reason we've nicknamed him the The Big Tuna. He'll fit right in.

But, if the recognize that he's not a true skunk, who would win the battle royale? Bear or a skunk? Sorry....The Bear or a skunk?

That's what I thought.
