this little fella was determined to hang out on the streets all night. his mama was nowhere to be seen, and she apparently hadn't trained him to run for cover when danger lurked. or daylight. I first saw him at around 3am, but this was taken at 9am. I live on a dead end street, but there is still a fair bit of traffic, especially as people head out to work. here, at least he is by the curb, but for a good long while he was in the middle of the road and cars were swerving up onto sidewalks and lawns to get around him! there was just the faintest odour hanging about - curiously stronger inside our lobby, than outside - of baby spray. his tail was up every time I saw him and he clung to the road with those long sharp claws, uncertain as to what to do.
seriously, don't you want to get out a comb and help him with that 'do?
I think skunks are the cutest things. If it wasn't for that smell!
ReplyDeleteafter uploading my pics, I wanted to go back out and see if I could get some that were a bit clearer, but i thought better not tempt fate too much!
ReplyDeleteI second what Jazz said: so cute, but that smell!
ReplyDeleteHe looks cute but then I've never come across a skunk. What happened to him?
ReplyDeletePoor skunk :(

He who stinks has the power!
ReplyDeleteStinky but adorable! If he didn't smell so bad...I would love to give him a brushing and a cuddle. How cute is that??

When I was a kid, I SO wanted a baby skunk!
ReplyDeleteI think they are the cutest little critters around, with those sparkly little black eyes and their fluffy hair.
They are so cute - its a pity they have such a stink!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to him?
Kinda cute. But oh my God. Not so much a fan of skunks.
ReplyDeleteYou will all be glad to know that he is just fine and still prowling the streets at night!
ReplyDeleteThey're messy little creatures, aren't they?
