history: I let my dog out late last night and a skunk was there. Thankfully she is older and deaf so didn't see it! It was SO sweet, I just wanted to take care of him.
current: I let my dog out late last night and a skunk was there. I got scared when I spotted her/him trying to scurry away!
next: Oh dear! Did you get sprayed? That would frighten me too, especially at night.
