SKUNK SPRAY

I just had the most horrible experience! One of my dogs got sprayed by a skunk!!! Being the younger more curious one, apparently went directly up to the skunk and got sprayed in the face. I felt so bad for her and was a little worried. She was foaming at the mouth, miserable.

To top it off, the house started to smell. One that I can hardly describe. I read on line people compared it to burning rubber but that is not it at all. It is like a sickening strong garlic and onion smell. I don't know that I will ever be the same!

Now, I must see some humor in this, otherwise it's sad. The kids will be made fun of.....

I am at the local Rite aid and I hear people talking, "something smells bad". I walk around a little bit more. "I didn't smell anything out side", "smells like a skunk". I couldn't take it any longer! I confess, it's me. Then she starts holding her nose!!!

Now I am home and try the solution I have found on the web. It seems to work a little, but the house is still contaminated. So I get the idea to use febreeze but we are running low. Now I must make a trip to wal-mart.

I walk in pretty much unnoticed. Then I head to the cleaning supplies, am there only a moment when I hear, "Man, it stinks over here". The other worker replies he can't smell anything and they go back and forth. I can't take it any longer and once again confess, "It's me, me dog got sprayed". I got a little sympathy but I could tell he was miserable.

I move on to the food isle still needing to fix lunches for my kids. People sniffing everywhere, talking among themselves. By the time I get to the checkout I hear more speculations on what the smell might be. I can barely contain myself. I have a basket full of febreeze and various other odor eliminating products and people all around me wondering what is smelling. I heard skunk quite a bit but the funniest was the lady who said, " They must be working on something inside here". Yeah, right.
