The new skunk picture doesn't show up for me. What did he do to the last one to make it show up? Change a percent sign in the address or something?

Right click on the red cross and then click 'Properties'. Then copy and paste the address into your address box.

Is that Eyebeen Stinking?
Look at the size of that tail, LOL !
 
Ivan Seeking said:
For crying out loud no that's clearly Evo The Terrible. Her tail is much cuter than Eyebeen's.
Oh, there are so many things I could say here. I am SO TEMPTED. But I will behave. :biggrin:
 
Still can't see 'em. Also can't see a red cross.

That sounds more like what shows up on my screen, just a link with "..." in the middle so I can't even type it in by hand. I'm using a Mac with some version of I.E. I right click over the link, which gives me a pop-up menu (I think if you use a Mac with a one-button mouse, you can get the same thing by clicking and holding the button down rather than clicking and releasing, but I've found life is so much better with a two-button mouse), and one of the choices is "copy link to clipboard" Choose that and it copies the entire address, which is different than if you try just dragging over the text to highlight and copy it. Then just go up to your address bar and paste it in (ctrl-V on a PC, apple-V on a mac), hit enter, and it should open.

I don't know what you do if you use a different browser. I'm pretty sure the right click is the same on Macs and PCs, but I abandoned my PC a few months ago, and that was still windoze 98 I think.
 
Try clicking on this link (or if it doesn't come up as a link copy and paste into your address bar):

For some reason, Tsunami, that address showed up as a link in the E-Mail from PF telling me there was a response to this thread, and by clicking on it I finally got to see the critter! Quite tiny and charming!
 
I LOVE the way they totally DROOL into the bowl and the food and then fling the food all over the place so it STICKS to the floor and the wall...

I know. :smile: Isn't she sweet looking??! All my friends at work think we should de-stink her and keep her as a pet. :wink: :surprise: Ya know, that might be kinda fun... :smile:

TAG! You're it! :smile: :smile:

Oh my gosh, that sounded a little funny didn't it? :biggrin:

I just meant that Evo's tail is bigger and hairier.

:cry: I WANT A SKUNK! Everybody's got a skunk but me.
Zooby's got skunks, Ivan's got skunks, Tsunami's got skunks...
All I've got are lousy possums, uppity squirrels and an overweight cat!
(Vet told me today I need to put Jellyroll on a diet. Yeah, sure - that'll happen! :wink: )

I thought "Miss AfterMath" was yours?

Bigger & hairier? :devil: Many things have been said about my tail, but "bigger & hairier" is not one of them. :devil:

I'll have to ask Tsunami if she can send her to me. Having a skunk would be so great. I think it would be so handy for getting rid of those boring dates who want to come up for coffee afterwards. :smile:

"Sure come in and have a seat. I'll just go make that coffee. Oh, and have you met Petunia? She's really friendly..."

:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
I'll sell them stinking cheap!

Really I don't know where they are nesting now. I'm not even sure how many are still around. I know of one around my office, and I think a young one and an older one are nesting somewhere near the house. Tsu just saw one on the lawn and she was reluctant to approach it for some reason. Zoobie seems to be quite fascinated with something over near the dog house area.

Also, we proudly announce the arrival of our newest - Bun the Third. A one month old kitten that was lost, hungry, desparate, and looking for a home. We just lost Bun the Second - my special office kitty - so, since there is some kind of divine rule at work, we were expecting Bun the Third's arrival. She arrived right on time. She came walking up the driveway yesterday so Zoobie went out to get her. She was in the house within 30 minutes. Within another hour she was completely at home and fast asleep. Tsu will post a pic soon.

oh, Ivan, that's wonderful. I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your office kitty, but I am happy to hear that Bun 3 has arrived. I don't think I have ever picked any of my cats - they have always picked me. (and maybe I am soft-headed and sentimental, but I always think that the cat that has just left picks out the cat that comes next and sends the best cat for the job.)
 
and what a ringer this one is. She is a total lover; right away. Tsu and I are both completely kitten smitten. :biggrin:


Yes it was tough losing my girl so suddenly. She was a very special cat. She came to me at a hotel in Southern Oregon. I came back from dinner one night and she was waitin at my door as if she lived there. She was 6 months old and living in the parking lot with her first winter coming soon. We had a very strong bond immediately; more so than any cat I have ever owned. I was very sad when she died a few weeks ago. The vets best guess is that she had a blod clot. She was only about four and a half though most of our cats live 12-14 years. We had a persian for 18...I think 19 years.

Just curious... what's the meaning behind the name Bun?

Tsu thought Bun the first - also a stray - had a face that looked like a little butt. Her coloring was a little funny that way. :biggrin: Since I refused to name her buttface :rolleyes: , we landed on Bun.

And this "replacement" dynamic is the reason you shouldn't shoot skunks. You get many more back than you eliminate. (It's a kind of "gremlin" principle.)
