I'd guess that you right, the skunk thinks my parents are it's pets! They really get a laugh out of the little creature. It'll stomp it's feet until they go and get cat food, leftovers, ...something yummy. While it stomps it's feet, the skunk never turns around to spray. I'd guess it is telling them treats or else. One my mother up ended the livetrap and it hung on. They've had much cautious fun with it.
I've got to get motivated. I put in for the heat to be turned on in my classroom today so I can work and not freeze to death.

Sound's like the Skunk has decided that being a cute neighbor & pet-like means goodies.. Or maybe he has decided your parents are his pets...

It has lived under the barn for a couple years and never bothered the chickens. On early morning chores we would sometimes cross paths, without incident. Regular pet. Anyway the trap only has one door so the skunk had to back out. She needed help. I guess I'm one of the lucky people.
