Saw a man at Loweās today with his pet skunk in his shopping cart.
Is that ālegalā there?
Yes.
Maybe it is his ācomfort companion petā? I see people claim that for their iguanas, femrrets, really interesting color patterned rats (with purple and green streaks). āStunksā can be surgically de-oderized.
Yes, but there are some animals that donāt make good āpetsā, so I was wondering.
I looked it up, and found the article linked in my post. I thought of it because I met a lady with an opossum, which turned out to be a ārescueā.
Iām outside gardening/watering at dusk almost every day and I have trained myself to give the skunks I regularly encounter a very wide berth. (The dog does not, unfortunately.) So I had a very visceral reaction to the skunk in the cart.
Part of me hopes you didnāt barf on the skunk. Part of me hopes you did!
Lol, not that visceral. Mostly extreme aversion.
Enjoying the calm before the stormā¦a predicted norāeaster here in the Boston area tomorrow. Heavy rains and winds. Will be bringing in the more delicate herbs/lettuces tonight (or at least putting them under the small overhang on my deck).
Of course, Iām taking days off on Thursday and Friday for an extra-long holiday weekend - and I chose to do something FUN tomorrow (well, fun for me, at least!). Even though the fun will be inside, we still have to get there in the rain! Then again - Iām making my sister drive into Boston, so I just have to be a quiet passenger.
