Effing skunk

[dochawg]

Had a nice evening and dinner out with the wife everything was going so well that I thought I might even get lucky tonight (we have 2 month old so it happens like never). So we get home and she is feeding baby and I let the dogs out so I can go get ready for bed early and before I take 3 steps I here one of the dogs going crazy. I open the door and she comes running in spitting coughing foaming at the mouth and then the stench. Oh my god. Now this dog is runing around the house going crazy I can't catch her. The wife comes out screaming with a baby on her tit and did I mention the smell?? Well after a frantic google search I have tried 5 different home remedies and. Either my smelled is broke or she is tolerable. My wife has spread baking soda and bowls of vinegar all around the house and whenever we walk out of the bedroom it still about knocks us down. Well that was my night and I am too tired to make since now anyway.

A skunk ruined my junior year homecoming dance. I will forever hold all of them accountable.

Did ya kill that filthy pole cat?

I killed the one that wronged me. With my mom's Mercedes.

I had a friend who woke up in the middle of the night to find one in his bedroom. It had come into the house through the dog door (d'oh!). He jumped out of bed and the whole room got sprayed.

Had the same thing happen a few year back. It takes forever for the smell to go away. I found something that said boil vinegar, didn't matter, if it didn't smell like skunk it smelled like vinegar. What sucks is you will smell and not know it being your in it at your house for hours on end. Good luck getting rid of the smell, maybe someone has come up with something to get rid of it.

The vet has a chemical that gets rid of the smell.

Sorry, but this made me laugh. Sounds like a line from an episode of COPS

To get the smell off your dog, mix the following: 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon Dawn dishwashing soap. Knead the mixture into his fur but be sure to keep it out of his eyes and mouth, let it sit a few minutes, and rinse it off. Might have to repeat if he got skunked badly.

As for the house... maybe try Febreze on the furniture, and a shampoo'ing of the carpet? Sucks it's cold out now, otherwise you could open the windows all over to air out the place.

Sorry man but I was laughing my butt off reading that!!! I'm just waiting for this happen at my house. Starting in the spring I could smell a skunk somewhere in the area and it lasted all summer. I saw the SOB in my backyard one night but when I opened the door he ran under a low spot of the fence. I hope ya get rid of the smell.

I've had a couple of them come up to my back porch to eat june bugs. After the first, I got a yellow light to get rid of the bugs but it didn't work. There's a grain belt behind our house & they come under the fence.
