Our dog Sarge was skunked last night by the Notorious Neighborhood Skunk!

Many of our neighbors’ dogs have fallen victim recently.  Sarge was one of the last dogs standing.  I lovingly refer to Sarge as Mr. Handsome.  Now, he is Mr. Smelly!  Our house smells beyond a skunk smell.  It almost smells like burnt rubber.  Appetizing, I know.  It’s just AWFUL!  We called our vet and neighbor this morning and they recommended a paste consisting of liquid dish soap, baking soda and peroxide.  We leave it on Sarge for 5 minutes and rinse.  The problem is he was sprayed right in the face and in his ear!   We will see if it helps.  When my in-law’s dog was skunked, their vet told them the only thing tomato juice was good for was vodka!  If anyone out there knows of a miracle solution, please let me know.

Here he is resting with his toy squirrel and chipmunk after all the commotion.  I guess we’ve helped foster his obsession with rodents!
