I spotted two tiny skunks trailing right behind me. I had no clue where their mom went. I picked them up and decided to bring them home first. Once we got there, I fed them some milk. I tried messing around with one of them, and it's so cute. They ate way too much and passed out asleep. But the other one was still super spooked of me. They tussle with each other all the time. I feed them all kinds of treats every single day. They kinda look like tiny little kittens. Slowly the skittish one turned into a total cuddle bug too. I hang out and play with them every day. One of them even became best buds with my house cat. My mom adores them both. When they got bigger, I gave them baths. Brushed their fur, and they were totally cooperative the whole time. They're not picky eaters at all. I named one Molly, the other one Domi. Molly and Domi are full-on members of my family now.
