I almost had a pet skunk for a while. She was young and cute. She would visit with me through a screen door. She grubbed out under the bug zapper. I even named her Penelope. You could be outside with her, and she never raised her tail. When we had our nightly talks she would be less than 3 feet away. Unfortunatly the Old People did not find her a suitable pet. We caught her in a cat cage and had her relocated to a large park by the river. Even then she never sprayed. The next skunk was a very large, easily upset male. After the encounter with him the SPCA made it clear that they would not be back for skunk removal.
