A Very Bad Night

[BikerGeek99]

Just got this from a friend describing her night last night. When she refers to Lamont, that's her dog.

==========================================

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to share my exciting night because if I don’t laugh about it I will cry. About 2:00 a.m. last night I get up to go to the bathroom, so since I was up Lamont decided he needed to go too. As soon as I opened the door to let him in I got hit by a HUGE odor of SKUNK! Yes, my dear boy got sprayed by a skunk.

Luckily I grabbed him before he could make it out of the kitchen and drug him to the bathroom. He got sprayed right in the face so I wanted to at least rinse off his face and eyes. I then grabbed a can of tomato sauce and also gave him a bath in that. During the tomato sauce bath, of course he gave himself a good shake and my shower and my pj’s looked like I just murdered someone.

He was still going crazy rubbing his eyes so I called MedVets to see if he needed to go to the ER. They said to run saline (contact solution) in his eyes and give him a bath in white vinegar, baking soda and liquid detergent. Needless to say I did not have white vinegar, so smelling really foul I got to go to Meijer to pick some up. I got some really great looks.

After Lamont’s 2nd bath the skunk smell is pretty much gone, but the house still reeks of skunk! MedVets said to boil vinegar on the stove to help with the odor, so now my house smells like pickled skunk and pretty much everything I own smells.

I am at work now but I too smell like pickled skunk. I will only be here for two meetings this morning, because let’s be honest no one wants to be around Skunk Girl! I am then going to go home to deodorize, scrub and air out the house to hopefully get some of the smell out of it. Plus I only got 3 hours of sleep and the triple shot Venti mocha from Starbucks is only going to work so long.

I really hope you are having a much better day than I am!!

For some odd reason, I kinda like that smell, at least in small doses. Reminds me of being on the road!

I once tried to skin a road-killed skunk for its pelt. I gave up on the project when all the dogs in the neighborhood started barking incessantly....

I had a skunk-loving black Lab when I was a kid. On a little rabbit hunting excursion near my parent's ranch, I come upon my dog with about 3/4 of her body down what I presumed to be a badger den. Encouraging my dog to continue digging, the next thing I know she's dragging out one seriously pissed-off skunk that's spraying everywhere as she's trying to shake the life out of it. It sprayed me, her, my rifle, everything within about 15 feet. Needless to say, I wasn't too welcome anywhere near the house when we got back. I had to scrub me and the dog for about an hour in the horse wash rack in the barn with a mixture of laundry detergent (I think it was Cheer if I'm not mistaken...) and Clorox. It worked, but I had soap rash for about a week thereafter.

I hate skunks...

When I was in my muzzleloading phase ,, I always figured a skunk skin hat would look really cool,,,

But , Never had the guts to try and skin one ,,,,,, :dribble:

Nope. NW side of Columbus.

Unless you got fired or someone died, we've *all* had a better day than you!

I've been there with my chocolate lab. When there is skunk nearby, both my dogs start to go ape sh*t inside long before I can smell it.

+1 on naming the dog Lamont. That's perhaps the weirdest and best name for a dog I've ever seen.

OK, I waited. I guess it's just me an Toe... I kinda like skunk smell too. I can't explain it. Gettin' sprayed sucks, but I don't mind disposing of local road kill a bit....

And as a teenager, when a buddy of mine would catch one in his traps, I was THE one to call. Didn't bother me a bit.

Yup. Purdy weird huh?

I had a skunk for a pet as a kid. Her name was Flower. great pet!

when I was a young lad I used my friend's dog to chase one out of a driveway culvert and caught it in a dip net. carried it home all proud and stinking. my mom said she smelled me coming 10 minutes before I got there. I was really upset she didn't let me keep it. I believe it was a clorox bath that rendered me odor free and I had to bury my clothes in the back yard favorite cowboy boots and all. I really didn't think it was all that bad.
