J and I watched tv until 11 or so last night and had the dogs go out to do their business before bed. I was in the bedroom vacuuming up some carpet fresh and I hear J screaming. I open the door and all I hear is.
.
Dylan got sprayed by a SKUNK...
Holy crap...
Well first off, the dog came IN the house..big mistake but it's like 2 degrees out..so I can't blame him for running in the house.
I call the vet, and jump online, looking for ways to de-skunk. Aha!...Dawn, baking soda and peroxide. We stick him the tub and he gets the bath of his life and trust me, he wasn't happy about it.
Poor thing got sprayed in his MOUTH..so after giving him some pasta sauce (tomatos..vet advice)..and some Altoids..yes thats right..he loves Altoids but it didn't cover the skunk breath (poor dog)
He's clean..his coat is clean..his breath is another story and my house..well..I don't quite know what to do about that. It'd be lovely if I could open the windows but nooo..it has to be frigid outside.
Thankfully I can't breathe or smell so i'm not missing out on much. and the same for Jamie....but i'm wondering if eventually i'll get used to the smell and not notice it?!
Suggestions anyone? on how to get the skunk out?!
Bless Jamies heart since he bathed him while I was just pissed that he got sprayed..I was beyond aggravated!
Those of you who've met Dylan know how sweet and laid back he is...poor thing has dragon breath today.....................thankfully he loves Altoids!
