She really can't climb that well, skunks front feet are very developed like bears, her back feet, not so much. She is very bottom heavy and thank god she can't climb the gate. She can go upstairs and things but she has trouble getting onto the couch herself.
She does come when I call her, although today she didn't want to come out from under the bed so i waved a cold piece of pizza under there and POOF
a skunk appeared! I gave her only a bite of it as a reward.
I take her for walks outside or really i follow her around while she snuffles everything. I tried a dog harness on her but with her odd shape it really doesn't work very well so I put just a collar firmly behind her front legs and that works quite well, she doesn't feel confined and she can't get out of it as her but is so much bigger than her middle.
She is very soft. I give her the occasional bath but she stays pretty clean and she doesn't shed very much which I was worried about! |
