Let me tell you about my best friend ...

[Hum]

An incredibly shy girl named Harriet Cooper in Kent, England has come out of her shell after becoming best friends with a skunk named Humbug. :huh:

 

Harriet?s parents are animal handlers who run a petting zoo that tours local schools.

 

One morning, Humbug was trying to claw Harriet?s mother, Maria.

 

Out of nowhere, Harriet scooped Humbug into her arms and started petting him, which calmed the skunk down. :huh:

 

Harriet and Humbug have been best friends ever since. Harriet walks Humbug on a special leash and Humbug even sleeps in Harriet?s bed. :huh:

 

Her mother Maria thinks that Harriet has lavished so much attention on Humbug that the skunk believes he?s a cat. :huh:

 

It's adorable.

I've heard that skunks made excellent pets but I'd be a bit afraid of one. I assume this one has been "fixed?"

^ Maybe he's just toilet trained, and flushes.

I'd like to see that. :D
