Why are Apple's paws pink?

Why are Apple's paws pink? She was jealous about not being allowed to play bingo and decided to let us know exactly how she felt about being left behind.

This little guy has grown up big and strong

I came home today to a house filled with the faint aroma of skunk. Apple smelled ever so slightly skunky, was acting very guilty, but clearly hadn't been tagged. As I was investigating the smell our neighbor Mike came over to tell me that Apple had spent the day frantically digging under the shed to get at a skunk. He sat in the safety of his home watching her dig, bark, and successfully avoid getting sprayed. Based on the strength of the smell I can only assume that the little guy is still under or inside the shed.
