“PESKY BABY ELEPHANT, STOMPS BABY SKUNK, LOVING MONKEY, AND A CHATTY CAT.”
Thank dog for that first comma…
I am not a morning skunk, either. 🦨😴
Hoorah for correct comma usage! Also for avoiding all that carnage.
“I’m a panda. Look it up.”
heehee 🐼🍂🌿
one of my all time favorite jokes!
Thanks, Sedro6, for that bout of hysterical laughter.
In the response notifications where it quotes the post it says “stompy” but the original email was funnier.
It was supposed to be “stompy” but autocorrect stomped me.
That’s okay, it gave me a good laugh, which was very much needed.
Guy with kitty is so cute, love that he’s so enmeshed with his cat☺️
I am not a morning skunk either, and this one is too cute for words!
I think skunks are really cute and I actually don’t mind their smell but I wouldn’t have one as a pet. I think having a wild animal as a pet is always a bad idea and almost always end badly either for the animal or the person.
They can have happy lives, but it takes more knowledge and effort on the part of the hooman. There isn’t a lot of daylight between responsible wild animal owner and licensed rehabber. It’s a little like trying to be an amateur smoke jumper.
Maybe I’m naïve, but I thought that licensed wildlife rehabbers made dedicated efforts to return animals under their care to the wild. That seems different to me from making a pet of an “exotic” animal. That poor monkey was kept as a pet and can’t be returned to a wild he doesn’t remember. Stomping Tom, on the other hand, was released to his natural habitat.
Or am I missing something? I’m not trying to be argumentative; this isn’t an area where I have personal experience. If you do, I’m interested in learning more behind your point of view.
Depends what animal and where you are. Also depends on the age of the animal, and any physical issues that make release anxious. For example, in Australia they are not allowed, in some places, to release rehabilitated bats. In America bats surrendered from the pet trade, which are not indigenous to USA, are not allowed to be released.
In the story of the monkey I think they make it pretty clear why he couldn’t be released, even to a zoo. A very sad case indeed. He was with people for around 14 yrs and can live to 40. He even rejects their attempts to match him up with friends—he prefers people.☹️ The pet trade is at fault for most of these animals, esp when they are not in their native country!
Hope this helps a little.
Can’t wait to dive into links later! Another busy day in the office, so they’ll help me decompress when I get home.
Cat and hooman are fabulous – and you can see how happy the cat is being spoken to like that.
that smug smile is kind of a tip off.
It’s simply adorable. I would crawl into bed with both of them to share the fun.
