The skunky appointment

**lute** · 10-04-2007, 03:54 PM

I got to work today and was looking over the schedual to see what we had going on. I saw an appointment with an animal named Skunk. I thought it was a funny name then just shook it off. We hear some pretty funny names.

At 9am the appointment shows up. I put them in a exam room and as I'm sitting there talking to them they remove Skunk from his carrier....Skunk is no ordinary pet...HE'S AN ACTUAL SKUNK!!!!

After oooing and aweing over the beautiful animal and hearing about the 2 other pet skunks this lady has the doctor comes in. I'm pushing to try to stay in the room just to keep looking at him. He was too dern cute! After the lady left me and the other girl working got to talking about skunks. How we could never own one, but we sure do respect the people that go out and do their homework before obtaining suc an adorable critter.

Neat

My mom has always thought pet skunks sounded neat. They are really a different kind of pet. I heard you can get the smell taken out of them (not sure what you call that) but that it doesn't entirely remove the smell. They are pretty cute though I have seen on tv before with a woman that rescued them and she had over 20.

Yeah you can get them De-Skunked, my dad had two pet skunks, many moons ago! They are fun, but definitely not like any other pet.
