Your thinking, What??? Ok, I'll explain… Sleeping in to me is about 0630 and the dogs usually have me up by 0530. So, nothing different this morning, open the door to let the boys out at 0600, and at 0602 I here my old lab bark like he just treed a raccoon…. But did he?… No him "and" my corgi got "BLASTED" by a skunk… My old Lab got it dead in the face and chest and the corgi got the left overs.. So guess what the wife and I were doing at 0615… Not what you think.
Had a big skunk out on the front lawn last night but no smell.. I kept my distance and he waddled into the woods after he saw me watching..
Oh man... sorry to hear that Dave. Did you get them cleaned up OK... and is the one that got hit in the face OK?
Update, Yes the boys are Ok, my old lab got the worst of it, The herder had sence enough to keep his distance but still got it, "not as bad". This is not our first time at this rodeo with this, it seems it happens nore than I care to think of. I set a have-a-heart trap, if I get him I'll take him out in the woods somewhere. We clean the boys with an old home school mix, 50% lemon juice, 50% white vinegar, It works well for the most part. Jetjr, I have some technu but I would have needed a gallon. At least my new puppy didn't even see the skunk, he still barks at strange things and tries to herd the lawn chairs…
Sorry to hear that Dave! Yup your old school mix works decent. I got it when the skunk crawled under the shed. Oowee that ladder was loaded lol. Ill make you lauph now! Our neighbors dog tries to heard the flower pot hangers... Funniest thing ive seen that rot do.
I'm pretty sure outside would be the dogs home for a while, especially at 6am on a Synday (and here I am in here and its 5:4o haha)
