From the Treat Jar

Last Friday, around midnight,  the boys' daddy went to the store and came back with these:



Why was he out shopping in the middle of the night,  you ask?  Because Ti got skunked!



I had just let the boys out for a potty break before bed, when I started to notice a strange odor in the house--somewhat like burning plastic.  The dishwasher was running, so I thought maybe something was melting inside it.  Nope! Then I opened the door to let the dogs back in.  HOLY COW! Skunk, skunk, skunk!  If you've never smelled skunk, consider yourself lucky!  It's in a category all by itself.    Augie was the first one in, and he smelled nice.  Then Mr. Ti slunk in, wet and stinking!  My eyes were burning!  Into the tub he went...




He got a bath with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap.  We followed it up with this:



He has since gotten two more baths!  We had a talk with him about what not to do in the yard.  We think he understands.

PS - thanks for the email on the regarding rescue. I will get the peeps to share possible rescue dogs to be spotlighted - maybe Mr. White if he is still lookin' for love in November. But let's cross our paws he finds a home.

Oh my goodness!!! That has always been my biggest fear. I have to say though....I wasn't completely surprised Ti was sprayed instead of Augie. That boy just has a zest for life. Good idea to stay away from those kitties. Good luck with the stench.

My boyfriends dog chased a striped kitty this summer and the peroxide gave him these lovely blonde patches on his otherwise black coat-they are just now growing out! Poor baby Ty (and Mama and Papa too!) p.s.-love your blog-I had a golden for 16 years and miss her so much, your boys are wonderful!

Poor Ti. We hope the striped kitties stay far away, though he did look cute in the tub and with his sign.

Oh, Ti looks so remorseful! Ruby's very good at that expression too. Isn't it a powerful smell. I actually felt quite queasy after smelling it up close, and Ruby threw up. Yuck! There have been a lot of skunks around this year.

Oh My!!! Been there, done that! We used the old tomato juice method, let me say it didn't work to well. If it ever happens again I will give your method a try.
Darn skunks, why do they have to be nocturnal, giving baths in the middle of the night is not much fun.
