i've found that quanah will follow me about.. like he is attached to my ankle on a string.. some of the others do this too.. but none as well as he does!
we sort of practiced a bit.. round brits.. he was belting up and down the hall first after me, emma, emmas littl'un Holly.. then we took him outside.. and he spent about an hour chasing us all round the garden..
then the other day back here.. 5am sort of time (light but no-one much about) we took him out front, and again he followed like a shadow.. so we've been gradually extending the walk, and he can now do a mile or so.. at a canter.. one of us is never more than a few paces away, he is not on a leash.. so far he has not even once shown any sign of belting off, which is more then i can say for what the rest would do!
baby skunks, in the wild, do follow mum about for much of their first year.. to i guess to him its normal to do this, he also seems to like it, if you pick him up (when a car comes or something) he bugs you till he is let back down.. if he loses where you are.. he stops and shouts for you.. when he spots you again he belts up to your feet making little growley squeaks.. he then stamps on your feet till you move them again!
anyway, enough talk.. videos.. done via the camera and at twilight so not as well lit as they could be, but you get the idea
have a couple more uploading.. this is the first
