If you get them when they're that small skunks make excellent pets. They really are sweet little animals. You can get the stink glands removed but one of my good friends had one for many years w/o it being destinkafied. Never once had a problem. Yeah, braver than me.

When I was a little kid (1949) I had a pet skunk named Louie. A family of drooling mouthbreathers, The Mommy and the Daddy were brother and sister, moved in next door. The oldest boy, Bobby Jim, proud possessor of six fingers on each hand, caught Louie, took him into their house and to torture me, swung him around by his beautiful black and white furry tail. It was probably not the best idea BJ ever had.
When he heard the commotion and found out the cause, my Dad laughed so hard for so long I thought he was going to have a stroke. After that every time Louie saw BJ, he'd do the famous skunk hand dance, causing BJ to run screaming into his stinking house. Louie lived ten years and that was the only time he ever sprayed. Louie was one of the best friends a kid could have.

At that age, they smell a darn sight better than a wet dog.
So do the skunks.
(Turing word: fiesses. Smell better than that, too.) -

Are you sure you got your neighbor's name right, Gerry? Are you certain it wasn't Billy Jeff?

I considered one once. I hear they eat cat food and will use a litter box. You can never fully get rid of all the smell, they are musky like a ferret. Not really bad, but always present.
They are pretty docile because they aren't afraid of anything, nothing messes with them twice. They hold off using the chemical weapon until they fear for their lives because they only have 1 or 2 shots and it takes time to recharge. While reloading which takes days they are defenseless. If they aren't really afraid, they don't spray.
My dog spotted one while we were on a walk and wanted to get acquainted with the nice little black and white doggie as dogs do: sniffing their butts. While the skunk was watching me making much noise trying to call the nearly deaf dog, said deaf dog got her nose about 5" from skunk ass. Skunk suddenly realizes there's a dog's snout 5" from it's ass. Pow. Then spin and take a shot at the human that underestimated how far they can shoot. FYI, it got my ankle with a few drops from 20'.
I was able to get myself clean enough to be let back in the house, but in spite of many washings doggie spent a lot of time outside for the next few days and her head still smelled bad for weeks.
I now clap or toot the dog whistle before entering that area to give critters warning. There's the possibility of running into something even worse such as something rabid so I often carry. She's had her shots but I haven't.
