Too stinkin' cute!

We have a little problem at the place I work; actually, five little problems! Someone trapped a skunk, and left five little orphans, who are hanging around our shop. I had to chase one away from a car so the customer could leave today, using the hose and water. But I felt bad for the little guy, it's probably only about three weeks old. I went looking for it, and found 5 of them playing. I called my husband and he came up after work to check them out. Ted being the fun guy he is... well, you just have to see the video!

Near the end of my shift, there were no customers so I went to sit outside, and darned if the little hooligans didn't spot me and make a beeline for me.

Then when I close up they were right on the step, and one of them came at me, talking up a storm. Brave little rascals! I want my husband to relocate them tomorrow, we should be able to capture them and put them in a big cardboard box to transport them to an area where there aren't any houses. Hope they make it!

Brazen little stinkers! (pardonthe pun) hope they are OK when you get them relocated. You know Shirley black and white is a bit of qa theme around your place these days ... Just saying

They are CUTE, even if they are skunks:0)

It seems that in the past weeks you have somehow been involved in dealing with baby critters. And if the little ones aren't from your immediate household, than they'll find you!

You sure are a lot braver than I when it comes to skunks! They sure are cuter than I expected!

I've read that skunks, once descented, make the best pets. Instant burglar control. =)

Such a cute little voice!

luvmyhrs said...

yup but it is illegal to de scent them now, in BC for sure anyway.

Michele said...

instant burglar control indeed:D can you take them to a wildlife rehab society? i believe they have one in Cranbook :)

Awwww, how cute! I think they chose you to be their new mom!
I didn't realize they made such cute sounds!
Funny....my word verification for this post is 'fuumen'
Those little guys will grow up to do some fuumen!

Goodness gracious! They are sooooo adorable! I hope they make it too. I love the title of your post - it's perfect!

How CUTE!! I never knew they made that funny little sound! Thanks for sharing. Too bad you can't de-scent and keep one (or two). I sure hope they make it. How about asking at your local zoo or animal park. I should think they could raise and relocate the orphan animals.

WOTD- Sycess Let's hope they have some.

Sound so cute...

To bad they are skunks....cute little guys. I'm such a sucker for baby animals. We had a friend once that had a skunk for a house pet...even descented it had a bit of d'odour....maybe not if they were done when they are still that small.

They really are adorable! Love how they waddle when they walk. Yep, best to relocate them now before they get any more friendly than they already are!

Cute lil suckers! I,too, had a friend that had a skunk as a house pet. It was very odd to be sittin' in his house and have a skunk come up to ya.

Wow! That little guy sure had a lot to say, huh? lol!

Too stinkin' cute!
Poor things. I love how Tim said he'd like to tame on of them as a pet. How cool would that be?!

I hope they survive.
