re: My dogs got skunked…

Yes, Skeeter. Only someone who has experienced this level of skunk can truly understand.

Maybe bathe the dig before letting him inside

Too late now probably

#1 leash dogs outside
#2 Uber to dog cleaning place
#3 Lather, rinse, repeat - al long as you must
#4 Uber to house of friend, leave dog there for 2 weeks

A friend came to his office one morning and it stunk of skunk. Somehow a skunk had gotten into the fan area of the a.c. and had been shredded. They thought they got all of him. Cleaned the a.c. and aired the offices.

Then a couple of weeks later, it got hot. And they found that they had NOT found the skunk's scent glands which had ruptured in the heat.

And, yes, certain breeds of dog love to rub in stink. Someone had cleaned a freezer down at a ferry landing -fishing area near us. The Feist next door had dragged a seasoned deer carcass into the field below our house and everysooften he'd go in the high grass and bring bits of his stash out to roll on. He remained an out door dog.

There was no “leashing” or “letting.”

It was more like a scene from Platoon.

Happened to me about 30 years ago. We were on our way to Pittsburgh (myself, my sister and Dad(RIP) ) when we ran over a skunk on Hwy.19 outside of Summersville, WV.

We were in a 1979 Dodge Aspen Station Wagon. We had to ride the remaining 4 hours of the trip w/the windows down, in the middle of winter. The smell was unbearable and impossible to get rid of.

It should be used in warfare. I feel awful today. I don’t know if I’m getting a stomach virus or it’s just the smell.

I thought you meant he went on a fishing trip and didn't get a bite

I wish.

Tomato juice works as well as anything else

Another reason not to have dogs. I love dogs, just other people’s.
