Guess who went outside last night for a final romp before bedtime?
Guess who encountered a skunk?
Guess who got to bathe the skunkified dogs?
Guess whose house still stinks?
Guess who’s now thinking, in retrospect, those parent-teacher conferences weren’t all that bad?

Hoping today brings you lots of positive somethings…

It is always something, isn’t it? I guess that’s so we can line everything up on that spectrum and see what really matters and what’s just annoying enough to make you want to drop out for a day or two. Sigh.

I remember that awful smell, combined with the stink of tomato juice. YUCK!!
Hope it gets out soon!

I was actually lucky because we didn’t have tomato juice on hand but did have a full bottle of de-skunking stuff we had left over from another skunk episode (with a different dog). Guess we need to always have that stuff at the ready.

Nothing like a little skunk to alter perspective…still, *holds nose*, I hope it doesn’t last too long!

I keep getting whiffs and I know one of the dogs still stinks and it feels as if it’s everywhere. In my hair, up my nose, etc. Ah well, there are worse fates. I guess.

Echo and I sympathize. I think you weren’t reading my blog in 2006. Take a peek at one of my first entries, in August 2006, entitled “Sommelier to a Skunk.”

Oh, that’s so funny about the wine. I laughed about you unfortunately teaching the skunk to drink responsibly. (snort)

Around here it’s the spring return of porcupines that disturbs my dogs — somehow fate seems not to give you both skunks and porcupines thank goodness, or am I tempting fate by saying that. I’m really not sure which is worse. STAY AWAY FROM THOSE CRITTERS, DOGS! THEY DO NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU!
So, tomato juice baths?

Funny you should mention porcupines. Our husky tangled with one in Alaska and when we took him to the vet to have all the quills removed she told us there are two kinds of dogs: the kind that wants revenge and the kind that learn a lesson. My beautiful husky was the kind that learned his lesson; the next time we saw a porcupine while hiking, he stopped and sat next to my feet. Didn’t move. I found out later that my friend I was trying to meet up with farther up the trail ran into that same porcupine. Her dog got a face-full of quills (her dog was looking for revenge).

Oooph! They do like mighty sheepish there. But yep, nothing like a good skunking to put things in perspective.

They do look sheepish. Too bad they smell skunkish (well, the speckled one still stinks). Since we haven’t gotten rid of all the stench I’m starting to lose that perspective.
Sigh.
