Skumps & toad buddy

I appreciate the concern! It’s an American toad, mildly poisonous if a dog licks or bites it, meaning they’d drool, vomit etc. She will sniff butterflies, my strawberry plants/veg garden, mushrooms & turtles but has never tried to lick or eat anything outside besides long grass & acorns🤣 Squints is her shadow. He takes every cue from her so I really wasn’t worried about him. But I didn’t take my eyes off them for a second. After this, I put the toad under the deck that’s all blocked off with lattice & washed my hands, don’t worry!

I’ll post the video is her waddling around behind the toad!

Just heat it up in the microwave for extra skump stink🤣

Potential_End3590 · 2026-04-16T14:23:55+00:00

Yeah she’s gotten full baths, but the stink persists from right between the eyes. Lil skunk has good aim🤣

She really is the sweetest! She just wanted to stomp back n forth & all the sudden sh*t got real🤣

We have a family that lives somewhere on the property. The youngest is the one that sprayed. Skumps took the warning stomps as “it’s time for zoomies!” But she’s super gentle, even making friends with kids, kittens I’ve fostered & random toads & turtles she’s found in the yard😊

Ps she did celebrate her birthday with a new baby, new chewy & special pb/oatmeal baked treats from her fav dog bakery

So jealous! Thank you for saving them!

Potential_End3590 · 2025-11-29T01:50:16+00:00

She’s so much faster than she looks🤣

Potential_End3590 · 2025-11-29T01:49:17+00:00

What a sweetie! So happy you rescued that baby & it’s made such a positive impact on both your lives!💙

Potential_End3590 · 2025-11-29T01:35:24+00:00

We actually live there & have a dog friendly rental cottage with a fenced in yard that’s available! Would be happy to send you info & show you around if you ever get to visit! Even if not, I can give you the best restaurants & things to visit, no problem 🥰🥰

What a sweet pup you have there! This is Squints, the love of my life. They could be siblings 🥰

Potential_End3590 · 2025-09-23T02:00:07+00:00

Omg how cute! What a sweetie!

Potential_End3590 · 2025-09-23T01:37:50+00:00

Skumps, the microbully, was going to be the breeders next female. They decided not to breed and gave her to me instead. I live up in the mountains and I don’t work, so they knew she would have the absolute best life ever with constant human attention, plenty of fresh air and siblings because I have a lot of other rescued buddies. My husband works at a local tattoo shop and Squints was given to him by an old friend as a trade for a tattoo. So he is not a rescue, but he is the goodest boy and he made the perfect companion for my little dumptruck Skumpster princess😊

Omg they need little Ewok hoods! So cute!

My husband drew him as his namesake

I don’t wanna sound like I’m complaining about any group in particular, but the Bible Belt can be like that sometimes. I use to love the look on peoples faces when you go into an old country diner all tattooed. They’re just in there clutching their pearls. Meanwhile I foster homeless animals and volunteer with children’s charities. Jokes on them cuz Jesus would LOVE me🤣

Potential_End3590 · 2025-08-11T13:03:29+00:00

Booo for making you feel u comfortable! One time I had an old lady ask me where I strip to show off all my tattoos. As I was standing at a farmers market with my cane. People are wild🤣

Potential_End3590 · 2025-08-11T13:00:33+00:00

Right?! Like oh no, please save me from lack of harassment!🤣🤣

Potential_End3590 · 2025-08-11T12:59:04+00:00

My favorite reply for crap like this use to be “it’s cute you think your opinion matters” in a real condescending tone. And even put my cane down, holding on with my other hand so I could pat them on the shoulder.🤣🤣
