Boy gets stinky wakeup from skunk

HAMDEN, Conn. -- A boy got an unpleasant surprise when he found a skunk in his bed. Police said the 13-year-old was awakened in his upstairs bedroom by the skunk, which had climbed into bed with him. Police said the skunk got into the home when it climbed through a hole in a trash can and a resident brought the can inside. Police said an animal-control officer arrived "to the poignant smell of skunk, which emanated throughout the house." The family got the animal out of the house on its own. -- Associated Press
