Kawaii...!!

Hmm, perhaps I never mentioned that we have a skunk in our neighborhood. Well, we do. She lives under the porch next door and has been quite a fine neighbor... and if she's been noisy once or twice, well, that's still a lot less often than the renters on the other side of us. Anyway, I was headed out for a 9 PM weightlifting session, and she crossed the road right in front of me with her three little skunklets in tow! Oh my god, they were teh cuteness. I want to pet one. But it seems I'll just have to adore their little stripes from afar. I hope I get another glimpse of them before they grow up too much.

I think skunks are adorable. They supposedly make good pets if trained young and, of course, descented. I just don't want them living near my house. We had one dig a den UNDER the house last summer and of course my dogs just couldn't leave the poor creature alone. They both got sprayed three times before the skunk moved on.

Yeah, skunk-dog interactions are not as cute as either a skunk or a dog alone. Mercifully, our neighborhood seems very short on dogs. (I know of only one on our whole street and it lives inside.) Which is probably why I don't know of any skunk sprayings.

I've heard of skunks-as-pets, but never seen one.
