Yike - Skunks

 This summer has been a very smelly summer. Just about every dog in the neighborhood has been sprayed, a few more than once.
Tucker was no exception.
One beautiful summer evening we were at our neighbors enjoying a lovely bonfire and roasting marshmallows. There was the sound of animals in the nearby pine trees that we wrongly assumed was raccoons. Tucker took off and ran head first into a momma skunk. I have never seen a group of people scatter so quickly. Tucker and Steve headed for our backyard, I headed for the odor removal ingredients and CJ ran inside away from the smell. Tucker got bathed twice with the hydrogen peroxide solution and was fairly stink free by bedtime. His leather collar didn't fare quite as well. Here it is soaking in the solution, after a while we gave up and bought a new collar.
