Save money by pre-ordering a "skunk whispering" type book.  (The title will be changed from "The Skunk Whisperer" to something else because it was discovered that this name is trademarked.)  Instead of paying $15 plus shipping and handling, buy an autographed copy for $15 and the S/H is free (anywhere in the US).  If you live outside of the US, you’ll only have to pay $5 S/H.

The latest in all of the books on “whispering”, this book is entirely different.  She includes teachings from Native American Indian wisdom, since they were some of the first of the indigenous peoples to talk to and truly understand animals that lived with and around them.

You will learn from a woman that truly knows how a skunk thinks, feels and communicates because she has lived with, rescued, rehabilitated and released (or placed them with good people) both wild and domesticated skunks for 18 years.  She has championed this animal when no one would or could work with them, has fought government agencies that insisted on perpetuating countless myths against this species, mostly because of fear of getting sprayed, not contracting rabies, etc.  She has conducted countless press conferences for the media all over Southern California to halt already-scheduled massive killing sprees, when, in every case, it was because of people mismanaging feral cat feedings or humans doing improper garbage storage.

Also learn how to truly communicate with your companion animal by learning animal behavior, body language, and intuitive communication.

Obviously, this book is not solely for those that want to communicate with and understand the skunk in their backyard or a pet in their home, but how to understand all animals and their needs.
