Trying to find a movie filmed in the 1940s in Connecticut

The movie was about two children, a boy and a girl.  They would go in a field and search for animals.  There was a live skunk they were petting.  It may have been called "Craig the skunk".  It aired on television a few times.  It was filmed in Connecticut around 1947 or so.  Does anyone have any more information about this?   I ask because the little girl was my mother!
