A Day in the Life of Two Skunks

Usually the skunks sleep with us at night. Aroma is especially cuddlesome. (Is that a word? It is now.) Then, after they hang out with us in the morning, they go back to sleep... either under the bathroom sink or wedged on top of each other between the toilet and the shower. Maybe it's cooler back there? I dunno, but they love it. Note the sock in the lower left corner, stolen from James. There's also a shirt under there somewhere.









As soon as James and I aren't looking/leave the house, they go about their normal business of destroying/getting around whatever security measures or childlocks we've put up to prevent them from getting onto the kitchen counter. We've had Toby 2.5 years and we still haven't figured something out. And once a skunk gets it into his head that he wants to do something, nothing stops him.










Then, of course, after we've punished them for misbehavior and fed them, we all come back for some quality snuggles. This picture is of Aroma - I was at my computer and she wanted so badly to snuggle, and once I showed her how she could burrow into my shirt, she loved it!














Notice the nose protruding from sleeve:









When one skunk is doing something, the other skunk usually follows. Soon, both skunkies demand attention.










Mmm, snuggles!
