Soggie stinkies!
The chain of events playing in my head after reading the caption and seeing that picture are hilarious!
Aww...little stinkers! Oh and skunks too!
oh, that's great! you can just hear the kiddies saying that, too!
BEST!
CUTE OVERLOAD!
POST!
*E*V*A*R*!*!*!*
I wonder if someone got a bath in tomato soup that day... they say that helps if you get sprayed. Yummeh.
Wee skunkies still have only wee stinkies and are poifectly safe for all kinds of adoration.
is that real? it looks real. i think it's real. holy crap, that's real!
Nothing helps if you get sprayed! But this is hilarious!
Why does the one in their hands look so much smaller than the ones in the grass?
Now this one needs the Pepe LePew voice. Except I'm creatively challenged today and can't think what should be said. Aubrey, Theo, TJ, Sarcasta, someone help me out here?
And yeah, I think the bebes are too little to make stink. Their mom, on the other hand...
Yeah you gotta admit, lil' skunkies are the cutest things EVAH.
I bet the little stinkers can't spray yet. Just like baby tigers don't go attacking yet.
But wait til their mama arrives... that's when the fun would begin... oh boy....
Maybe the one in their hands is the runt of the litter! I had a runt Lasa Apso once. Tinker. *sniffle*
LOL that is hilarious!!!!
I don't think that is a skunk in their hands...the others have bushy tails & lotsa floof. I think it's a kitty & the Pepes are coming to make sweet lurve to it!
I don't think the one they're holding is a skunklet at all...look at the unpuffy tail! Maybe it's some sort of other critter?
LMAO!!!
Maybe the one in their hands is all wet and they are saving it from that big puddle and that's why it looks so much smaller.
The one they're holding could be a very wet one. "Let's give the kitty a bath in that puddle"...
I really, Really, REALLY want to know the story behind this one!!!
I had never seen bebeh skunks. how utterly adorable. I wonder what kind of meep-like sound they make. easier to imagine is the girls' mom and/or dad sound when they happen upon the scene, "holy$)$^&(@#%^getyourhandsofothatskunkOMGWTFBBQAOL!"
Ooooh wee tiny fluffy black-and-white "kitties"...
Adult skunks are almost as cute (tho not very snorgle-worthy).
We have a baby skunk that comes to our house every night to be fed. We think he lost his mom. He is sooo precious... I'd like to keep him.
lol - i'm glad i wasn't there and can just see them from my monitor!
Uh-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
*dramatic suspense music*
robin m,
how sweet. and sad, being an orphan. I wonder if there is a way to deskunkify skunks so they can be adopted? the 'skunkiness' as it were, resides in some glands, so I'd guess maybe they can be removed?
paging all wildlife rescue experts to the thread...
Jaypo and Teughcats, my cousin thought baby skunks were too little to spray. She found out she was wrong. I say treat all guns as if they're loaded. But I hope the babies are okay and not orphaned (or drowned, in one case).
Best skunk story was about a horse who loved to torment the big fluffy black and white barn cat. One day he saw that big tail around a corner and grabbed it in his teeth. It wasn't the cat. Do you have any idea how many gallons of tomato juice it takes to wash a horse... three days before a show? But I bet he left the cat alone after that.
Soooo not good!
Yep, a friend of mine had a pet skunk. There was a musty smell to it, but you can get the glands removed that allow them to create the spray.
at my job a couple summers ago we had 4 lil skunkies appear in the parking lot over the course of an 8 hour day. . . they were very sweet. they THOUGHT they could spray us, but they just succeeded in makin us laugh! they were so cute. we plucked them and took them to a wildlife rehab. . . with them suddenly out in the middle of the day with eyes still closed, seemed like mama had maybe been waylaid somewhere. . . they were cared for and set free.
So very, very cute! I had to look for more baby skunks and found some on the Alabama Wildlife Center site and they had this to say -
INTERESTING SKUNK FACTS:
1. Skunks have their scent gland from the day they are born, and can spray when they are only 8 days old, so Wildlife Center staff and volunteers must be careful not get to sprayed.
So do baby skunks have cute, little immature spray power or is it full on like the grownups?
Snorgle on!
"Dad...what did you say? Spay? Spray? Dad, we can't hear you when you're back is turned and we can't see you for the cloud of dust your quick and unexpected departure has raised!"
Zap -- another LOL-worthy story. Baaad kitty. ;)
Yup skunkies can have their scent gland removed like a ferret. after that they are a lot like a ferret for a pet, they can be litter trained, and generaly make good pets if they are spayed/neutered, the males get very terratorial when a female around goes into heat. (my uncle had a male and a female a long time ago, male was a nasty bugger and bit my mom)
OMG! I want a baby skunk!
I can't imagine having one for a pet but I remember coming across a picture of one once (here?). It piqued my curiousity enough to do some research. They apparently are legal to raise/breed/keep as pets in several states and they come in a few different colours. The general consensus seemed to be that they make fairly good pets, but of course I was reading from skunk-friendly sites.
I wonder if these are *pet* skunks already? :)
I visited a animal park in southern california once a long time ago. They trained animals for the movies. They said they had to be careful with the baby skunks, because they're to young to have their "sknunky" gland removed. The little babies haven't perfected their "sent control" yet and sometimes leak.
I saw a mom and two babies last week early early in the morning (obvy safe distance). I think they must meander through my landscaping during the night because my dog is really onto some scent in those beds. Those babies were the most darling little Le Pews ever. I never thought about how cute little skunklets were before...who knew?
haha! oh but they're so cute!
The skunks in my sister's yard neatly roll up the moss every night to eat the bugs underneath.
Please be careful with wild skunks though. In Oklahoma, over 50% carry rabies. Destinkified and with proper shots, they make decent pets.
Reminds me of the time I took my pup for a walk and encountered a very wide/round blobbish critter.. got closer and realized it was a large family of skunks moving as one entity! Having done the tomato bath routine (multiple times, and to minimal effectiveness, poor pupster), we turned around and as subtly but quickly as we could, walked the other way.
arbed, yes! colored skunks. A couple of years ago a guy in Canada was selling pink and lavender ones.
A mixture of dish soap, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda will react nicely with skunky perfume and get rid of the smell (courtesy of Mythbusters).
...don't forget liberal quantities of dihydrogen monoxide.

lots and lots and lots of it!!
Meg, does Phillipe perhaps have a blog where he tells more of the story behind that picture? Or perhaps show more pictures of the scene? I totally want to hear how this came about and what happened next but Phillipe's site seems to only be about his webcomic (which I think I'll read, too, but I was just wondering...)
Ohhhhh, Mannnnnn. That had to suck later! That one in their hands looks wet, I hope they just 'dunked' him and didn't find him drowned.
Colored skunks, Pink? I know they naturally come in different colors, like the traditional colors you see on these little puffikins as well as a speckled black & white pattern. But pink?
I'm a long time lurker but i just had to comment on this :) I had a pet skunk a while back and he was a sweetie. He was tan and white. He loved to follow you around the house and would practically attack you for cantaloupe. If you scared him (accidently, of course) he would turn around and try to spray you but he couldn't. I would then tickle his tail and he would be all confused...not knowing whether to turn away or keep trying to spray me. It was too cute.
He got along pretty well with our cat too...although there seemed to be a little bit of a language barrier. The cat would stick her butt in his face, which in cat language is "come on, big boy" and in skunk language is "i'm about to spray you with a foul liquid" so when she would do that, he would bite her and she would yelp and run off...lol She kept doing it though.
I heard that douche is supposed to do the trick too. I remember long long ago when David Letterman still had his dogs Bob & Stan he mentioned the tomato juice thing didn't work & had to go buy douche in the middle of the night. Of course it could have just been a bit.
