I have never been sprayed by a skunk. My dad rescued an orphaned baby skunk when he was a youth, if that's any good. He had it around as kind of a pet for a while before a rescue or whatever would take it, and I guess the rule was that it would kind of claw at the ground and then slowly turn around to point the spray, so everybody had enough warning that it wasn't an issue. The 70s sound like a weird time

Orkin Mang posted:vietnam, dog afternoons, wallcarpets I know some of those words but I think the old man wasn't old enough for the war so he fished and rescued animals and later worked in a 1970s exotic pet store and then spent quite a while doing way better drugs than I will ever have access to and following around terrible jam bands. Later he went into education and fly-tying. A cool life.

Ferrets just naturally loving reek and can live perfectly fine on high quality cat food. Too bad they're illegal in most states. I had a friend with a ferret who he had raised by carrying around with him for the formative time, so they had a cool bond. That weasel was fully box trained so they just gave her the run of the house, and combined with frequent baths, that ferret was nearly loving odorless. She had a cage with toys in it and stuff that she'd hang out in, but it wasn't usually forced. If you can hit that sweet spot where they poop somewhere specific and don't spend all day stinking up a cage, and you give them baths, they're not that bad.
