Yes indeed.

When I was younger and had my RB collie boys, we were about to drive from Missouri where I lived to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a major dog show, which Willie was entered in, but we also took Cody with us whenever we went anywhere. We were leaving very early, while it was still dark outside. Mom took the dogs out front to go potty one more time while I was getting ready to go. They saw a "cat" in the yard and ran up to chase it from the yard. At the time there was a neighbor who had dozens of cats and just let them breed indiscrimently so we always had them wandering in the yard. This time it wasn't a cat though, it was a skunk, and both collies got sprayed, thankfully not in the eyes.

Mom's only thought was to get them back in and away from it and suddenly the house was filled with that sickening smell.

There was nothing we could do, we had to get going, we had paid the entry fees and it was all set. So we headed out with two skunked collies. Several hours later when we got to the showgrounds we bought a skunk odor eliminating shampoo off one of the vendors, took the dogs to the hotel and washed them over and over in the hotel bathtub. Needless to say, it is almost impossible to get that out of the thick coat of a collie but it was a lot better at least than it had been. Mom and I had got the giggles in the hotel room trying to wash two stinking collies, both of whom hated water and baths, the ridiculousness of it all hit home. Then later that night there was a bad storm and like usual Willie jumped into bed with me only this time with a bit of parfum de skunk.

Willie still had the faint odor of skunk, I could still smell it when I leaned down by him, when we took him to the show the next day. Regardless, he won his major. Here he is (with handler), at the front of the line right before the judge made the final decision:



And in the parking lot after with my Mom:


Still with the faint odor of skunk wafting from him now and then. I can't see those pictures without remembering that whole ordeal.
