Running with my Pet Skunk

[@annahill99]

It looks like a galloping house slipper and I love it

[@deadlocked08]

Your dog is well trained .😆

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

I need this in my life.

[@jenniferlopez901]

Here because I just saw a skunk for the first time

[@harvestercommander3250]

They’re so cute when they run.

[@bearbear5383]

I saw one run next to me yesterday and it was so chubby and cute so I had to confirm if they really ran like this 😂

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Lol…yes, they are so adorable when they run!!!

[@stevelee4653]

so cute and adorable!!!

[@xchristena]

I am 100% pleased that I looked up "skunk running"

[@erika89765]

I looked that up too and this was the first result I got, I'm melting from the wholesomeness... every time the skunk bobs up and down I feel myself coming to life

[@guineapiglady2841]

Cute!

[@renvhoek]

this is a really good video of the skunk, showing it close up lots, how it runs etc.

[@canterburytail2294]

I live in the countryside and am guilty of feeding a mama skunk and her babies heathy for skunks food because they are so darn cute to watch at night from the window on the deck. It's pretty much the worst thing I do except not volunteer enough. Animals are to be cherished although I don't like parasites and spiders scare me but I appreciate they eat parasites so if I find one in my house I catch it in a glass and envelope and take it 2 miles from my house. I exaggerated the distance on that last bit.

[@kimpanattoni]

I wish I could heart this like Facebook or TikTok... Got me all choked up.

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Awe, thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@10beebo]

i saw a skunk in my front yard yesterday and she was so cute!! a big lady :) the way they run is adorable and they look so soft

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Yes, their fur is actually quite soft. Before I got a skunk, I thought they would have coarse feeling hair, but it is pleasantly soft!

[@darksied1965]

I never in my wildest thought I’d want one as a friend, skunks are kool af

[@starsofaheartattack6286]

Umm... can you ask your skunk for me why he's so soft and floofy? :3 What a cute little stinker!

[@scribblecloud]

needed this as animation reference haha

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Lol...sounds fun!

[@erika89765]

So cool, subbed :)) I'm here because I'm writing a magical OC with a skunk familiar

[@goyangi4143]

I didn't know skunks could stand up like that

[@KratsminschSkunk1]

I live in an urban setting, so taking my skunks out for runs wasn't possible. It was Professor Moriarty who would have needed the run the most, the way he vacuumed up his food, and then stole from Gherkin the Mighty, and Agent Cooper. I did my best to keep them healthy and happy. I built them a ramp, and then they joined me in bed, as well as destroying two mattresses, because they are born to dig. I miss them, they were such a challenge, making sure they had the right foods, making sure they had wormer monthly, and 250 mg of taurine a day, like cats need.

[@Alexander-qz6px]

thunderf00t anyone?

[@npmerrill]

Joyful!

[@katt-the-pig]

Love skunks, kinda wish I could have one as a pet. But not only are they not legal here, but my home doesn't have central cooling. Skunks deserve more than a single window unit.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Those geese were getting pissed at the end!

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

LOL...They are actually our pet ducks :) They can be quite vocal!

[@claudiaortiz6036]

I love the skunk

[@bakugoubean2924]

I've always wanted a skunk 🥺

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Took me about 20 years to get one...there is still hope for you. Follow the adventures in your heart!

[@Alexander-qz6px]

Did it ever do it skunk-thing at you when it's annoyed and you tried to pick it up or pet it?

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Marv is my pet and is descented, so he can’t spray me. With that said sometimes he still gets feisty from time to time. Some mornings when he is feeling energetic in the house, he will butt block me and do a fun move backwards. Sometimes he’ll even try to nibble at my toes. This usually means he has some energy and wants to go for a run, so I will run through the house and he will “chase” me. Then, we go get breakfast!

[@Alexander-qz6px]

oh I See ... just realized you are the one quilled by porcupine. A house at the lake, it looks lovely. What is it that you are doing? Some kind of sanctuary?

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Lol…yes, that is me. No sanctuary….just a girl with a love for animals and dedicated to following the adventures in my heart and encouraging others to do the same. By profession, I manage an outdoor recreation program for a local park district.

[@SiriusMined]

Bouncy!!

[@viothewisp6468]

Super chonk floof

[@JFKismyhusband_]

Good skunky

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Agreed...love your profile name!!

[@cheskamarie8248]

That's pretty cool love how clean it is ❤

[@happyfurhammies6539]

Marv is super cute ! I'm getting a pet skunk tommarow and I'm so excited! You do not have to answer this and I already know what skunks should eat but just out of curiosity 🙈☺️ what do you feed marv , I'm just trying to get as much Info ad possible 💖😃 Edit nevermind I found your video about skunk diets and marv !

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Congrats on getting a pet skunk! Glad to see you are doing lots of research about how to care for your pet skunk! They are amazing creatures!

[@mridulbarman4114]

Listen lady. The way you are running you may fall in the pond. Lol

[@hipocampelofantocame]

Good woman; will make a marvelous mother; and the children will love animals. Wow!

[@lindahardwicke8658]

A skunk ran beside me the other day. I didn't video because I was running. So I sent this to my hubby so he could see what a skunk looks like running

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Lol...I guess the skunk just wanted to play! As long as the skunk wasn’t stomping his feet or turning his butt towards you your risk of getting sprayed was likely minimal. It can definitely be a scary moment though. Most times skunks don’t really want to spray you either!

[@lindahardwicke8658]

It definitely seemed playful. Just ran alongside me for a few seconds. Adorable :)

[@zigaudrey]

Running with Pepe le Pew, it seen!

[@alyssajones4368]

Awww ❤

[@candyjones377]

That’s cute

[@MusicBoxVinyl]

Has it ever sprayed?

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Most pet skunks, including Marv, are descented when they are babies, so they can’t spray. With that said, sometimes he still farts and it smells a little skunky!!! I guess that is why they sometimes call skunks “fart squirrels!”

[@denoc817]

Is it true Skunk has a smell?

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Yes, if a skunk sprays you, it definitely has a pungent odor. If they don't/can't spray you, then no, they don't smell. Many pet skunks, especially in the US, are descented, so they can't spray.

[@kacperkempa6237]

[@AdventurousHeartRachelNagle]

Lol...yes, and prairie dog!

[@samlesserofficial]

I can't have a skunk in sweden :(

[@wirehyperspace]

skunk do eat crayfish

[@computermech]

Although the lady has a kind heart she needs to realize Skunks are slow animals, can't see very well and are nocturnal. Just saying.

[@colinjones8846]

Are u running with full potato bags strapped to your feet?..... Jesus Christ.... use Pringle cans next video!

[@constanceroach3988]

im actually going to kill a skunk to night so GGS
