Jay has a skunk friend. This isn't a snarky dig or a euphemism for any of his friends or anything. There is literally a skunk that lives in our neighbourhood that likes to hang out with Jay.
The first time I saw Skunky, I was in my car pulling out of my driveway late at night. My headlights shone on him as he crossed our front lawn.
The second time, Jay was working in the garden and it started to get dark so I turned on the back house lights for him. Skunky happened to be in the back corner of the garden too, and initally froze when the lights turned on. Then he saw Jay and started making his way towards him. Jay hastily packed up his gardening tools and came inside. Skunky looked a bit hurt.
Tonight, a few minutes ago, Jay and I were out in the garage discussing some possible improvements and Skunky poked his head in, saw Jay, and wandered in. He looked like he wanted to join our conversation. But Jay and I eased ourselves out of the garage and bolted back into the house.
Poor Skunky.
