They will dump out pocketbooks, book bags, briefcases, drawers, laundry baskets, toy chests, trash cans, potted plants and bookcases just to see what's in, behind or under-neath them. Skunks are thieves. They will steal anything soft to make their beds wonderful and snuggley. They'll take socks, T-shirts, bath towels left on the floor or stuffed toys from the toy chest and stuff them in their beds. They will even pull a spread or blanket from off of your bed, drag it through the house to their bed, arrange it just so, and go to sleep, while your feet turn blue from the cold.
Skunks are very demanding.
They love to ambush you by dashing in front of you as you walk by and challenge you to get down on the floor and be a skunk with them. They charge forward, then scoot back with their tails in the air, doing their best to make you laugh. They run by you, stamping their feet on the floor, begging you to do the same. Skunks can be very loving pets. Babies love to get inside your shirt and go to sleep.
