Oh What a Tale We Have to Tell!

Suzy and I both felt that we needed to share with all of you the story of the skunk. Yes, we said SKUNK. You know those smelly little black and white striped creatures that we absolutely hate!!

Well this one night about 2 summers ago now we went outside to go potty. Mommy let us out and the next things she knows she hears such a ruckus! We are both just a barking and a howling and all. In case you didn't know I don't bark and make much sounds, I figure Suzy is so good at it that I don't need to usually. Well Suzy and I cornered this creature up against the fence and it was just spraying us and spraying us!! Mommy opens the door to see what is going on and before she can stop her Suzy runs in and starts rubbing all over the carpet!! Mommy gets her back outside ASAP and then gets Daddy up and lets him know what is going on. Like he couldn't tell by the SMELL!! Anyhow they both get on shoes and Mommy tries to get us both into the garage while Daddy gets the paintball gun out to try to scare the skunk out of the yard. Well I listened to Mommy and got into the garage with her but that Suzy she didn't want to listen and Daddy had to fight with her to get her in there with us. Mommy says that she about died from the smell of the two of us when we were closed up in that garage with her!! Daddy finally gets the skunk to leave the yard - Lucky for him that thing had used up all its spray on the two of us or he would have gotten skunked too!

Then Mommy and Daddy had the fun job of figuring out how to de-skunk us!! We both got baths with a special mixture that really seemed to help. The special mixture had vinegar, baking soda and dish detergent in it. The house got sprayed down with vinegar and bowls of vinegar got put out too to help get rid of the nasty odor. It took days for it to stop stinking around there!
