So, I was in this pet store the other day...

I've always loved skunks <3 When I was a kid, we went on tons of field trips with the elementary school. We'd go to farms, ranches, and my favorite was the 'fifth grade science trip', which lasted five days overnight at a science camp where we studied animals and all sorts of stuff! I was always the one volunteering to hold, touch, or play with the odd animals. At one of the farms we visited, I was the first one who volunteered to try milking a cow. At a ranch, I was the only one who was willing to kiss the pig. And at the science camp, I got to hold an assortment of snakes and then - a skunk!

I've always loved the animals that most people seem to think of as only trouble. Skunks can be amazing pets, but too many people just consider them smelly and unclean.
