A few years ago, a friend told me she had a nest of skunks under her front steps.

I got a call a week or so later. A skunk had been hit on the road in front of my friend's house. A day later, three babies toddled out from under her porch - whimpering and hungry. They could barely walk and just had their eyes open. They looked like four week old kittens - absolutely ADORABLE!

There was one male and two females. The male we named Trouble (he was!), and the females were Pansy and Petunia. We raised them the summer then let them go in our woods when they were able to fend for themselves.

They have to be the cutest thing I have ever raised!
