Not making fun, just trying to get into the mind of some pet owners. I really find it interesting to know why people get the pets they do. Four of them?

Yes, it's an indoor pet (but she heals pretty good when we take her out with us around the house). Yes, it sits in your lap (actually usually she'll dig her way under your shirt) while you watch TV. And yes she's a worse beggar at the table than my dog (skunks will eat constantly until they die of obesity if you let them).

Well, I'll be darned. I am learning something. Maybe we need a "What kind of pets have you owned" thread.

I'm just hoping MrsPsionandy doesn't see this thread. I'm trying hard to avoid getting a cat. But if she knew about skunks......

Good luck with the recovery. I used to have ferrets and we have been through multiple surgeries, illnesses, chronic meds. Skunks and ferrets are related and hopefully Pisces will heal as quickly as ours did.

Bad things often happen in "threes" and it sounds like you knocked all three of them off in one night. You should be good for a while now.
