Skunked AGAIN!!

Hmmm Wellllll.... Lakota and Shawnee got skunked again at 1:00 a.m. in the morning!! The minute they walked in the door I could smell it. They stayed outside last night and it was pretty cold. Around 38 degrees. I was going to put them in the garage but Gary said to leave them out because they have to learn. They do have a dog house to sleep in outside. We had a bottle of VET Thiotrol Spray. Gary also went to the vet's and bought another bottle. Lakota HATES skunks!! The last time he was the only one to get sprayed. They usually get it right in the face and the chest. I sprayed them 4 times this morning. They finally got to come in around one this afternoon. Be sure and keep an eye out for that skunk.... because I am sending him your way!! lol

Lakota was really happy to get in the house. I asked him if he got sprayed by a skunk in the 2nd photo. He later went to the dinning room and laid under the desk. I was trying to make him go lay where I put the towel.

Shawnee was glad to get in the house. Asked her if a skunk sprayed her in 2nd photo. She later stretched out on the towel and took a nap. She wants to do what I tell her. She is a very good dog... both are but Shawnee wants to please me. They are both exhausted and glad to get back in the house. The skunk spray is really strong and gives me a headache! I tried tomato juice and it did not work on Lakota. This Vet brand has a sprayer on the bottle and it works sooo much better than Skunk Off. It also has twice as much as Skunk Off.

Wishing all of you a blessed Saturday. Prayers & hugs, Janie

Don't send that skunk my way. We had one under the back steps this summer and lived in fear of being sprayed . Haven't seen any signs of it for a couple of months now.

poor furrs, out in that cold!!! it wasn't really their fault, just trying to protect the family from a menacing stinky critter. lol tell gary they'll not learn by letting them freeze, they prob didn't even know why they were being punished by their family, poor babies. at least the garage with an old blanket...please...my girls are howling just thinking about it. woof!
do you give them a good bath then spray htem, or spray first then bathe? i've never used anything like that...in the past when i had dogs on the farm that'd get skunk sprayed, i used the old homemade skunky bath for them.
have a good wkend, & give them furrs an extra pat from me & my girls. {{}}
huggies...

Sorry about your doggies.. lol. We have a trained Rottweiler name 'Deuce' who was rescued after the flood in New Orleans -Katrina. He is a noble beast that is our constant companion and 'service animal.'
I heard that tomato juice gets out the skunky smell.

LOL...you can keep that old skunk. I think one got hit by a car by my house the other night...ewww. Your poor pups. I'm glad you found something that works for them. I had always heard tomato juice did but that was on humans. Your dogs are gorgeous. Have a blessed Sunday!

Now Janie you can just keep them Kansas skunks right there! HaHa! I have noticed noticed more skunks this year for some reason. They have such adorable faces and they are BIG! Poor things. Knowing Abbey and Rusty they would be proud owners of that stench so I am really careful. Kelly

So Sorry! That skunk is really a pest!

I can't believe you are turning 65! You act like a teenager! Just kidding. But you sure do act younger then you are... in a good way!

God bless-
