(This is Cocoa and the chair she sleeps in before her skunk experience!) Now, both of them are outside!Cocoa (our dog) had a run-in with a skunk the other night and got sprayed straight in the face!!!!! We smelled the skunk smell outside and didn’t realize it had gotten her before we let her in the house so. . . . . .THE WHOLE HOUSE SMELLS LIKE SKUNK NOW!! We didn’t realize it till the morning and she had already slept on one of the chairs in the family room all night. Once we realized the odor wasn’t going away and was coming from her, we quickly put her and the chair outside. I sprayed them down with a recipe we found on the internet for skunk odor—50/50 mix of white vinegar and water and set out a crockpot of apple cider vinegar on high for 2 days. The vinegar masked the skunk stench but made the whole house smell like we were dying Easter Eggs! The odor was still lingering so I bought some extra strength Febreze and sprayed that on the chair and gave Cocoa a bath in another internet recipe—1 quart of peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda and 2 tbsp dishsoap. She still stinks! I asked the vet what they use and they sold me a bottle of “Skunk Out” and I used that on her too—poor dumb dog. Her head still smells where she took the brunt of the spray, so I think she will just have to be an outside dog until the stench totally goes away! Good thing the weather is getting warmer so she won’t freeze at night! That is a raunchy smell—I can’t get it out of my nose!!! Weston must think the smell is coming from him because he keeps using more and more AXE body spray on himself!!!
