I am off today and had oh-so-many things to do.
Let my dogs out and all THREE got skunked. Yep--all three. One is an Irish Wolfhound so he weighs 140lbs and is very furry. Great fun. My entire house smells worse than I could even imagine.
The skunk is currently dying in my back yard of what is likely Distemper, but animal control is coming to collect it as they have to test it for rabies. It was staggering around very neurologic spraying dogs/patio/trees. It's lovely.
Oh, and until they get rid of the skunk, the stinky dogs are closed up in the garage making it way stinky!!! Ugh, I have laundry in the washer out there!!
So today, I am deoderizing the world. I just came back from buying 2 gallons of hydrogen peroxide/Dawn/and baking soda at Walmart. I got LOTS of funny looks as I STINK!!!! Violently!!! I sent my poor kid to school and I am sure she smells too!!!!
Love it!! Thanx for listening!!! AMy
Oh my I totally sympathizes and empathize. Last winter two of our three dogs got sprayed and the whole house stunk. It was way too cold to leave them out there.
If you have any plastic bags even in draws they stink. I stunk and even after showering I bought a big bottle of fabreeze to just keep spraying myself at work yup used an entire extra large bottle. We washed our dogs with skunk off we got from the vet. The big one is lab/shep mix still stinks when she gets wet even today. The little one hates water So I had to get in the bath tub with long pants and shirt while her daddy bathed her.
We have had this happen twice and it is awful. Good news the stink in the house only lasted for 6 months. Each week getting better and better. One thing I found that helped was putting ground coffee all around the house it absorbed a lot of the oder.
We had to wash all our bedding and rugs since the shunk oil just lasts for ever and penetrates everything. plastic is the worse even you plastic containers need to be bleached and washed.
New collars, and doggie deorderizer power since our lab/shep has very very think hair and bathing only worked half way. Meaning if we stood three feet away she did not smell look out and pray for dry weather they stink even more than usual.
On positive note your spring cleaning well be done amazingly quick this year and more through than most would do
