Then, he wants to go to his happy place, the bed. We're terrified that if we tried to wash him inside, we'd end up with a skunked house.<BR/><BR/>Bear loves going after animals under cars, too. 70+ pounds dive-bombing asphalt is definitely a powerful force on the arms. He's nearly toppled me before.Meandering Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-76224003450344456852008-06-24T10:07:00.000-07:002008-06-24T10:07:00.000-07:00Oh how well we know this recipe - Bart hasn't ever...Oh how well we know this recipe - Bart hasn't ever actually gotten ahold of one that we know of - but he did get soaked in the face once going after one under the car. Foaming at the mouth, vomiting, the whole bit. This stuff really does work - you have to try and leave it on for a little while, which can be tough with a struggling dog in the shower. For lighter mistings of skunk - Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap works pretty well too!Alice Q.

I'm mad at Bear for giving me more reasons to deal with her. ;) Bear's first time was around the eyes, nose, and some in the mouth. Poor guy tasted skunk for days and could barely eat. Still... he didn't learn. Dogs, gotta love 'em.Meandering Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-35490502697472999202008-06-22T19:31:00.000-07:002008-06-22T19:31:00.000-07:00Ugg, my sympathies to you!

Almost impossible to lather up the face well enough. The skunk crawled to the front yard and died. <BR/><BR/>Luckily animal control came out and collected the, uh, cadaver. Unluckily, I was home alone for the week and to usher Khyber through the house and sequester her in the garage to keep her separated from the skunk. She threw up skunk stank in the garage (which made it stick for weeks) and the house ended up smelling for weeks. Not to mention how long she smelled. Dogs, gotta love how much they want to protect their yards :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-22892987677981589362008-06-22T19:19:00.000-07:002008-06-22T19:19:00.000-07:00Hey GF - Now this is a really useful recipe! ;o) W...Hey GF - Now this is a really useful recipe! ;o) Whenever Sammy sees skunks, he always wants to go play......I always cringe at the possible outcome.KirkKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877072133631180313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-326517068555577142008-06-22T09:52:00.000-07:002008-06-22T09:52:00.000-07:00Not that I've experienced what Bear has been throu...Not that I've experienced what Bear has been through, I've also heard that bathing your pup in tomato soup works. Another alternative I heard from another person is a douche bath.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977464586320279918noreply@blogger.com
