Reminds me of something I read years ago in one of the sporting magazines.
The writer (Mannix?) related how his kids were out in the yard playing with their de-oderized pet skunk when the family dog came roaring around the corner of the house to join in the fun.
It wasn't their skunk.....
That would be Patrick McManus - one of my favorites!
A friend had a de-oderized skunk when we grew up. Played lots of jokes on folks with that skunk. Chick magnet!!!
College roommates grandfather had a fully oderized skunk when I was in college, he kept it in the house with his 2 rat terriers. He'd roll it around in the floor and attack it's belly like you would a cat, skunk would get up, stomp it's feet and act like it was going to spray. He'd shake his finger at it, and say, "don't you spray", then go back to rolling it around, damndest thing I've ever seen.
Only time it ever sprayed was when he took it to town in his truck and someone broke into his truck trying to steal something. Skunk got scared and let the attacker have it, then hid under the seat. The truck and its contents remained un-stolen.
