Good afternoon, Sistah A! Thank you for posting our WFW this week; think I'll visit the Finest Sauna in a bit. :)

My little warm fuzzy Roscoe wasn't smelling too sweet last night, after an encounter with a skunk. This makes 4 times altogether (if I were counting), that he's decided to argue with a fuzzy black thing with a white stripe down it's back.

When MrB came in after their evening walk, I almost gagged! There was no doubt Roscoe had gotten sprayed - even though he closed him in the garage so he could come in and get the bubble bath started! And just so you know, that dog HATES water - hates to even get his feet wet, so imagine how much fun it is to get him in the bathtub....I swear he has more than 4 legs, and they're all climbing a different direction than where we're trying to put him. Plus he STINKS! BAD!

I know that tomato juice is supposed to get rid of the skunk smell, but experience has shown us that my sweet-smelling bubble bath does a good job, and 'sides, who wants to clean tomato juice off the dog in addition to the skunk!

Sigh! Has anyone ever used Carpet Fresh on the garage floor? And used up a can of air freshner? In a garage? The smell is almost gone today.

I've never been there or done that and have often wondered, does the smell bother the dog?

Oh no, that's the wrong kind of fuzzy! (((Roscoe))) As you may remember Daisy Mae got sprayed one time a few years back and it was horrible! Now everytime I let her out at night I remind her to watch out for skunks (and bears, coyotes, etc...)

Seems like I've heard apple cider vinegar and water will take the smell out...not sure though, need to get back to you on that.
