I guess it was bound to happen...the temptation was just too great and I let the dogs out to run around 'unattended'...why we hadn't done anything with the poor thing previously I don't know...I guess maybe because we don't have a shovel here or didn't want to burn it with the rest of the 'trash'...so we left the poor dead skunk out in the pasture and just told the dogs 'no' when they went near it...but this time we couldn't stop her...Happy ran for it and started rolling around on it, obviously full of joy and glee...
Why do dogs love rolling around in dead things so much? What is it that is so enjoyable? Hmmm...well, anyways suffice it to say she stayed outside tied up to the porch until we could figure out our best plan of attack for getting rid of the stench.
Sometimes the internet is a very helpful tool, othertimes it just makes you more confused. One site said use tomato juice, another said no- tomato juice is just a myth- use baking soda and vinegar, while yet another said use dish soap and baking soda. Considering we are 40 miles from the closest store and we had just gone to the store earlier in the day and we had no tomato juice or vinegar...we just cut her stinky fur away as best we could then bathed her in baking soda and dog shampoo.
Its not perfect but she gets to sleep inside tonight :)
