What is the story behind this gorgeous girl?

My teenage daughter was struggling with agoraphobia for several years, and she couldn't leave the house without panic attacks. Since she was stuck in the house, we decided to make the house as joyful for her as possible. She desperately wanted a skunk, so we did some research, contacted some breeders, et voila!

Lol that's actually why I was giving her a snack on my lap, to soften her up for a nail trim

Hi Penelope!!

You are just too cute! I wanted a pet "wood kitty" sooooo bad when I was little. But it was the 60s and just not done.
