Okay, okay, don't say "EEEEUUUWWWW!!! Before you visit the page.

Over the centuries humans have developed attachments to all sorts of odd and esoteric companions....Take canines for example! I mean DOGS are highly sought after by humans for companions, yet wet dogs are a more common cause of stink than your average skunk!

Yes, there is the requisite info here about keeping skunks and opossums as companions on this site, including how to handle the sticky legal issues involved in keeping one as a pet. Amusingly there is also a section here for people who find the critters to be annoying varmints and want to keep them away from their property!

But for those who love the little furry things and will not be dissuaded by threats of smell, legal hassles, and/or neighbors distain, there is a lovely photo gallery and a photo of the month section, where you can admire the beauty of skunks and opossums. (Ghatten thinks skunks look kinda like cats....) Also there is a listing of folktales with skunks and opossums if you are looking for some unusal reading materials.......

And if you wander here with no intention of getting a pet skunk, have no desire to read folktales about them or look at pictures of the critters because you are just searching for how to get rid of that HORRIBLE SKUNK SMELL, this site can help you there as well!
