Haven’t heard from butt man tonight.

Vacation starts when I punch out tonight.
I could have slept in big time today.. I’m really dragging. It will be nice not to set the clock.
Last night before a week off and the first time in a week with full staffing...Yeeha.
Sol does too.. she is a garbage gut.
I was out picking tomatoes prior to work today and Sol was trying to beat me to them.
Good for you.. 4 day weekend?.
Quart of peroxide.. cup of baking soda, tsp of dish liquid..
Spray on and rub in...then bathe.
The good guys!
Good evening Sandy....*hugs*
Oh no...........have you done this before?
Dogs can be very curious. This sometimes can get them into a stink of trouble. If your dog encounters a skunk it is likely to get sprayed if it insists on checking out this newly found creature. When a skunk is startled it will make a peculiar purring sound, sometimes growling. Before emitting its sulphuric spray (mercaptan) in self-defense, it will warn its target by raising its tail, standing on its hind legs and stomping its front feet. The mercaptan it sprays not only carries a terrible odor but, if it hits the eyes, will blind the skunk’s target for up to two days.
Your dog may come home with more then it had bargained for when it encountered the four legged, striped little fellow. The skunk’s spray is not only extremely foul smelling, but it is very hard to get out of a dogs fur. Your dog may smell for quite sometime if you do not act quickly. A fresh spray smells so bad it burns your nose. The closest comparison I can think of is the smell of burning rubber or plastic.
If you or your pet gets sprayed it is important to work quickly to get the skunk oil out and neutralized. If you do not act quickly the smell can last up to 2 years!
Tips: Before You Bathe Your “Skunked” Dog
1. Before handling your dog, you may want to put on some old clothes. Skunk spray is actually an oil and is very difficult to remove from clothing. Do not let your dog lay in his dog bed or the skunk oils will get on the bed.
2. If possible, leave the dog outside to prevent the odor ridden oils from getting into your house.
3. Determine where the spray hit the dog. Depending on your dog’s hair type, you may be able to trim away or comb out some of the affected hair.
4. When you’re ready to wash the dog, only clean the sprayed area. Skunk spray is oily and can easily be spread all over the dog. You will most likely have to give the dog more than one bath, so save an all-over bath until the second or third washing.
How do I get the odor out?
It may be particularly hard to get the odor out of those dogs who have thick double coats. If quick action is not taken it is possible to smell the odor on your dog for up to two years, especially when the dog gets wet.
