Many years ago my grandmother found an orphaned baby skunk. She nursed her and took care of her. Never claiming Charlotte to be her pet, but a wild animal she had helped raise. Charlotte would walk my grandmother to work, and meet her in the field behind where she worked and walk home with her.
Charlotte was not particularly fond of my grandfather though. He was the only person she ever sprayed. I think it was about six years Charlotte lived with them and then she eventually left but would come back from time to time to visit.
