Yes, that's me getting a vinegar and baking soda bath at 4 in the morning. I was out and about in the backyard hunting early this morning like I always do. Next thing I knew I was sprayed by a skunk. Rather than patiently waited for my owners to wake up and help me, I yelped and ran around the house, smearing the skunk stuff all over the carpet, furnitures, and bedsheets. So far they had washed me about 8 or 9 times, and I still got a funny smell. I yelped and cried the whole time. Many hours later, the house is de-skunked, but I am still not. Whimper...
When I was growing up, we had a rough coated collie. She was a great camping dog. One night as we sat around the campfire, Lady heard something at her food bowl and ran to investigate. Well, it was a skunk and she got sprayed. My Dad went into town and bought 3 cans of tomato juice. He took her to the closest water pump and proceeded to give her a tomato juice bath. People going by saw all the red and thought she got hurt! Well, after the bath, she no longer had the skunk smell. She smelled a little bit like tomatoes, but that's a lot better then skunk!!
ReplyDeleteAw maaaaaaaaaaaaaan~!!!! This is one thing I am thankful Kit and Betsy didn't have to undergo... *knock on wood*
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sad for Kura, that's a look that I think can be best described as horribly distraught. I've heard that tomatoes sauce works- luckily CC's never encountered a skunk, but Kura, next time supress the mighty hunter urge! Skunks are terrible!
ReplyDeleteWe know what it is like to get skunked. We tried to roll in the mud to get the stink off, and that didn't help either. Mom eventually had to take us to PetSmart to get a bath because dad had to go to work and she didn't want the smell in the house. That was months ago, and we still have a little bit of stink on us. Good luck!
