I remember in the early years of Troncones a friend getting a phone call in the middle of the night from what seemed to be a “well lubricated” neighbour. In a slurred voice,

“How do you get a cow out of a swimming pool?”

“Go back to bed. We’ll talk in the morning.”

“No, cows can’t swim. The cow could be drown by the morning. It’s already pooping in my pool.”

It turned out that one of the cows that wandered freely back in those days actually had stumbled into the guy’s pool!

(A nearby neighbour had one about 10 years ago as well, but those days are gone. I miss them.)

Looks like a skunk. How did they get it out without getting a load?

It walked out up the same stairs it used to climb in. If you understood the narration you would appreciate the love and respect the narrator has for the zorrillo.

Interesting. Zorro is a fox, but zorrillo is a skunk.

So cool! We had one of them, even smaller decide that our terrace needed a full inspection, in the middle of the night!

Though the sign at the property's entrance currently clearly says CLOSED, this little feller apparently didn't care what it said. If you understand Spanish hopefully you'll appreciate the quite clever and creative narration by René García: worker, friend and confidante of my friend Ernesto Mrachek of Casas Gregorio who also laid the custom tile in the pool. Custom tiles by René Olguin.
