So my dogs Jimmy (Great Dane) and Sweetgrass (Husky) just caught a skunk in the backyard. Sweetgrass pulled it out from under the house so she smells terrible, I think she dropped it and then Jimmy got it so he smells but not as bad. They'll be sleeping in the back room tonight.
I feel bad, Jimmy always sleeps with me so he's gonna be bummed. For those of you who havent smelled skunk spray close up its 50x worse.
Sweetgrass got a catsup bath but I dont think it helped at all. My plan is to be at work at 7, get a few bottles of skunk off, head back home and wash the dogs, be back at work at 11:30, algebra class at 5. AHH!
What upsets me most I think is how my dogs seem to have a pretty strong prey drive when they encounter things in the back yard. They chased a cat once and they were shaking the skunk all over the place. The cold blooded brats. The skunk wandered off, hopefully it's ok but will find another home. Not sure how I'll get rid of it if it stays. Also hoping it doesnt die under the house and start smelling. I probably woke up half of the neighborhood yelling at them to drop it. Uggg.
I'm thinking tomorrow is gonna be a Red Bull day.
