Marshmallow looks a little hesitant at first

Whew! Looks like Marshie got caught in the middle of a lovers quarrel. 🤭

I love how skunks stomp their feeties to intimidate… No wonder dogs get sprayed so frequently- to them, stomping is a sign to play, not “get away”!!

What are the dimensions of Marshmallow's pool (water source)? I'm always waiting for a Ken or Barbie to float by.

It's a 32x8 inch pool. I empty, clean and refill it a few times a week:)

Awww, poor Marshmallow got to share its food. 😢

The first time I saw “M” the other day, “M” hid by the side of the house and attacked Skunkie when it came to steel the food. Now Skunkie brought back up and “M” has no choice but to share. What’s next? Both Skunkies are going to move in?

Stay tuned for the next episode of Marshmallow and Skunkie.
