Well, in all of her 11 years, Lucy has never been sprayed by a skunk. Until last night. We awoke to what smelled like burnt rubber oozing from what seemed like every room in the house. Tom even crawled up on the roof to check our swamp cooler for smoke. We spend 1/2 hour at 4:45am trying to locate this item in our house that was potentially overheating.
After unplugging many electronic things, and putting a fan in our bedroom window, we went back to bed. It wasn't until we got up this AM that I realized it was coming from our dog!
So, thank you to Google, once again, for providing the answer to our woes: a mixture of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and liquid soap seems to have taken care of most of it... Poor Lucy. I do hope she knows to stay away from her striped friend the next time he/she visits our backyard.
Who knew that skunk spray on a dog does NOT smell like the skunk you notice outside in the open air...inside it becomes something that makes my husband almost hurl (his words).
