Jake got a critter!!!

[blazeman]

OK... so I teased you with the subject... :D I finally found something that looked close to Willow's "Foxy". I was going to get the fox looking one... but Jake had already picked the skunk... As long as that is the only skunk he ever gets... I'm OK with it ;)

I hope skunky didn't spray!! :eek:

I looked at this photo and laughed - we think our dogs have too many toys. Next to Jake, they are deprived and abused puppers!

Congrats Jake on your "kill"
:D

Jake is so cute!! Good thing that is not a real skunk! :D

Is Jake starting to turn into a black and tan? It looks like some tan is showing up. :)

[blazeman]

Jake has always beena black and tan... I think the camera angle and the thinning from the food. And he now blushing a little from being called cute ;)

(Juliette - are you saying yours don't have many toys? lol!) I notice Jake leaves his toys laying around! When I only had Heidi-Angel, I had trained her to put her toys away at night. Then, when she was three, and I got Gretl, Gretl refused to do it! It only took Heidi a few days to decide she would no longer put them away either!:crying:
Bob - I love the way Jake looks like he has a striped head in the lower photo! :)

Willow is beautiful and has very pretty coloring. She also looks like she is smiling in her pictures. :D

blazeman,

Many years ago, I rescued some kittens that had been abandoned. Only one of them lived. I had to still bottle-feed it.

One day, my grandfather-in-law told me to get rid of the skunk. I told him it was a kitten. He kept on insisting that it was a skunk. :confused: So I compared its behavior and looks with my husband's kittens. Sure enough, my little kitten/skunk waddled, had short legs, was slightly pudgy, and wasn't growing as lean and fast as the other kittens. :eek: She also was very clingy and not interested in exploring her world. One night, she did something naughty, and I scolded her and she gave off a mini-smell. :flush: :yikes: That was the final clue.

We had a vet look at her and he said that it looked like she was the result of a a rare skunk and cat get-together. He said that was probably why the kittens were abandoned.

Willow is definitely smiling in that photo!!! :) Did you train her to do that or is she a natural?

Juneysmom: I liked your story. How old were you when it happened? What happened to the kittunk in the end?

Blazeman: López says how come Jake has more toys than him. We told him because Jake probably lets them live longer, but he just narrowed his eyes at us and sulked...

I just hope he doesn't find out about the Dachsie Worldwide Domination plan. :afraid: (We try to keep him out of politics)

Check out this link. I think that vet may need his license checked.

I think that vet was pulling your leg. Cats and skunks cannot interbreed. Not the same species at all and the DNA just won't mix. Sorry to dispell a fond childhood memory. I just had a hard time buying that one. I'm a big fan of the urban legends and this one sounded like one, but I couldn't find it on the sites. It took some investigating but I found the link above. I think this is a myth purveyed by Warner Brothers cartoons and Pe Pe Lepew
(Once again, I apologise for being so blunt. Perhaps I should not mention anything about the Easter Bunny or Santa)

[blazeman]

What about EB and Santa? :eek: ;) :eek: ;)

[Otto'sMom]

NOTHING I swear!!!:eek: Make sure you keep your kritter hunters penned up so the bunny will be safe!
