Sadie found a skunk! :o

Look at the face! She is really feeling guilty. Poor girl. Dogs never seem to learn to stay away from the striped kitties. We had a dog Jasper that got tangled up with a skunk twice. Casey even managed to cross paths with one once as well.

What did you use to get the smell out?

Tomato juice, plus some vinegar and then topped off with these like, lavender doggie wet wipes that helped get rid of the vinegar smell. It was pretty disgusting at first, but definitely minimized the skunk. Now the entire house just vaguely smells of skunk We actually had to air it out, which means that now it's freezing cold (but has somewhat fresh air aha)

She still smells a little so we'll have to bathe her again, but it's mostly her head now. We're getting there.

Look at that face! She sure is sorry! Maybe fluffy, but sorry nonetheless!

Awww, poor baby girl. Nothing personal sweetie, but you stink. (said it a sing song kind of voice)
My pups have chased a lot of critters, but never a skunk, yet.

I don't think I ever tried the vinegar but that is a good one.

I think, without looking it up, is that the skunk spray is sort of an oil that really sticks to the fur.

I remember the last time Jasper, who has been at the Rainbow Bridge now for almost 20-some years, still smelled faintly of skunk everytime he would get wet or if it was a damp day. I should dig up some pics of him and send them on to Dog of the Day. He was another one of those one in a million Labs that I have had over the years.

Had to come back and tell you, I told my Dad about Sadie. Dad turned around and said, "Willy, I take it all back, you are NO trouble at all!"

Goodness, Sadie just makes everyone look good! I swear, between my two dogs we have SO many problems!

Poor Sadie. She looks very sorry for what she did. Guess she learned her lesson now, hopefully? LOL. I would have to KILL Brennan if he ever did something like that, but I could very well see it happening

You'd think, right?! This is like, the third time she's gotten sprayed by a skunk though, so I don't think so. Gah - she's almost 8 years old, she should be calming down soon, right?

I'm guessing that my mom has googled this a few times
