2. Two rabid skunks have been found in Boulder County. According to health officials, one of the skunks bit a dog in an unincorporated portion of the county. The other was found near Aurora Avenue and Grant Place by a dog. Luckily for both pups, their vaccinations were up to date and they only needed a rabies booster after the event. Public health officials recommend that you take serious precautions with unfamiliar animals. Read the full list of precautions at the link. (Boulder Patch)
