Dearest little Skunk, you are adorable! What a pretty little rat you are! And what a nice story of your rescue! We're so glad your dear Mom stepped in and saved you from becoming python food. You have the most delightful personality, too! Now you live in a nice spacious three-level cage with a new friend. And you and Mom love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Skunk, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear new friend and person are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe even a special serving of raspberry iced tea!
