Ewww...

That is all I can say. Last night I had the lovely chance to deal with the result of skunk spraying. Yes, you read that right...skunk spraying. I let the girls out back to go potty since it was supposed to rain overnight and well, they discovered a new "black and white" friend. Unfortunately, not the kind of friend that we want to know. Jasmine got it on her neck and parts of her face, the strongest being on her neck. Lily got the lovely pleasure of getting it on her right hind leg. Once I got them distracted from the thing in the yard, I brought them back into the house. BIG MISTAKE!! Don't ever bring a dog into your house that has been sprayed by a skunk because you cannot get rid of the smell. We had just about all my candles lit and nothing was working. We got them in the shower and I bathed them. They looked so pathetic. I thought I was going to throw up. I tried putting some mentholatum (vapor rub) under my nose to try and help but it was too late. The smell was already in my nostrils and it was there to stay. Went to bed.

Today, luckily I am home and have had the windows open throughout the house all day long. Also lucky that it hasn't rain like it was supposed to. I guess God decided to help me out in airing out our house. I have been thanking him all day for it. Besides the windows being open, I have had the candles burning in different rooms. The kitchen has the yummy smell of christmas cookies by yankee candle while our bedroom has cinnamon sticks from white barn candle. Along with the candles, I have the AirWick sprayers going off every 9 minutes in my bathroom and every 18 minutes in the living room. It is now only faintly smelling like that awful skunk odor.

Now all we need to fix our problems is more flood lights to light up our backyard. That is going to be our next investment in the household funds. LOL.
