All right, skunks, I’ve had it. I don’t care why you spray, I don’t care where you live, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t CARE!
First you woke me up, REALLY early last week with your bad smell. Okay, fine. You live here, we live here, I get it.
But then, our Labrador decided to find your smelly spot in the grass and roll around it in. Forever. And ever.
So we tried this mixture of hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda, and soap, per the Humane Society, which really sounds a lot like our son’s volcano science project last year, but whatever. It did not explode the smell.
We washed and washed, but the dog still reeked. As did our house, thanks to you, Mr. Skunk, and our now hideously smelling pet.
And we tried this, courtesy of our local pet store. We’ve tried it five times now, and the dog is FINALLY beginning to smell like a dog. A really wet dog. Which, suddenly, is a great smell.
And tonight, as I am about to tuck my tired self into bed, you strike again. We are not friends, Mr. Skunk, and I want you to leave. Seriously. Go away. Bah!
Yuck! Not fun!
Tomato juice…it works!
oh no! Skunk smell really is the worst.
I agree with luanne, tomato juice will take care of it!
Oh no! I pray this NEVER happens to us or our dog! He does love to roll in funny smells and has been known to come in from a trip outside all covered in whatever was making the smell (YECK!!!)
I have to say that you seem to be keeping a sense of humor about it all though – your post made me laugh out loud.
skunk skunk go away – don’t come back another day!
