I need a pet skunk!

I want to say that you'll just have to prove to her that you will take care of it, but how are you going to do that without a skunk?

That's what I want to know. I suppose I could try taking care of the other pets. But the cats pretty much just take care of themselves and I don't really like taking care of a dog whom my mom treats better than me...

That's probably the only thing to do. Just show her that you can take care of all of the other pets better than anyone else and maybe she'll get you one.

I think it's a good idea if you want one, but just know that skunks do smell still (my mom used to have a pet skunk)...

The stinch won't really be a problem. I'm used to my pets smelling as it is... lol

Yep, especially dogs.

lol Today was certainly no exception about that! They were very clean yesterday, but by the time my mom got home, well, let's just say we're very thankful most of the downstairs flooring is tile...

Just make sure you don't step in it.

lol Trust me, I'm always extra careful of that!

One cool thing about skunks (and bad for those of us involved with bee keeping) is that they are immune to bee venom and destroy entire hives eating all the bees they can get their paws on. People have done autopsies on dead skunks and found millions of stingers in their throat all the way down to the esophagus.

Heheh there is a random aspie fact for you in typical TMI form.

Hey, we've forgotten the purpose of this thread.

101. Skunks are less likely than sharks to bite people in the bathtub.

102. Street criminals would be reluctant to mess with a person who had a skunk with them.

103. Having a black and white animal around the house would inspire the family members to take up chess instead of watching reality TV.

104. Skunks eat bugs...don't they?

Thanks for more suggestions for the list!
