Mycroft gets some loving

[Starbuckfsd]

What an adorable little guy! Congrats for him living 9 years! You were obviously doing something right!

These skunks were descent-ed as babies, so they're no threat as to spraying, but they're also defenseless, except for their teeth. Mycroft was a gentleman and almost never bit me, Gherkin play bites so gently, so apologetically, and then there's Professor Moriarty who sometimes indulges his taste for toes.

So, if these skunks are "fully loaded" how do you avoid them spraying in the house? Have they ever sprayed their scents in the house?

wtf?) This my nick!))

Mycroft was named after Sherlock Holmes smarter brother, because the little guy could outwit me. A friend even made a sign for where Mycroft used to sleep, naming it the Diogenes Club.

Mycroft lived to almost 9 years of age. I did all the best I could I could not help but I felt I had failed him for years, till I read enough, and realized, that though I now now I could do better, I doubled or tripled his life span. No world record, but he lived longer than being an ignored and orphaned baby in the wild.

May I ask what happened?

[mephitidae]

Mycroft was a 4 week old orphan when I found him. I carried him everywhere with me, since he was exactly the right size to fit my shirt pocket. I broke soooo many 'no pets' rules with him, and no one noticed I was carrying a fully armed baby skunk.

The mall had to put up a no pet sign because of my and my stinker. Haha. But she still fits in my purse. ;)
