We got skunk'd




For the first time in the almost 6 years we have been living in Ontario, Jax got sprayed by a skunk. Poor little guy. Hopefully he's learned a lesson.

We had a few new friends over for dinner, and made the mistake of letting Jax out in the back without his leash. B/c its a condo, (argh), there is no fence and forgeting this fact, Jax wandered down into Skunk domain.

Just as I realized that he had left our patio we heard the growl, bark and then wimper, and I knew that it was a skunk this time.

The smell of skunk is so-putrid.
I found a great remedy on-line that works (and its not tomatoe juice. Apparently that only masks the odour) This actually worked.

2 bottles of 3% hydrogen proxide, 1/4 cup of baking soada, and 2 tsp of liguid soap. Worked like a charm on Jax but there is still an underlying hint of skunk throughout the house and in the backyard. YUCK!
