Indiscreet Gets New Chance as Skunk Mother
A pet skunk named Indiscreet, belonging to 13 year old Carroll Vosburg of 179 Allington Street, has twice become a mother in one year, a rarity for skunks. After an initial litter in April with no foster care and the loss of the babies, Indiscreet later bore four more offspring, now caring for them with devoted mothering behavior.
