Interesting morning to say the least.

Archie and I got up at 5:00 AM. Pretty normal. Let him out for a potty run into the dark and fog. Still pretty normal. Began to smell it as I went to let Archie back in. Yep. Somewhere out in the foggy morning and not far from the house he met up with a skunk. Skunk won round one. From past experience with two other dogs some years ago, I know tomato juice isn't the answer. So I went on line and found another remedy. Peroxide and baking soda with a dab of dish soap. Seemed reasonable. Make a quick trip to town and came back with the magic ingredients. The dish soap was all we had on hand until then. Followed the directions and after lathering him up and waiting the prescribed amount of time, dried him off then gave him another bath with his normal doggy shampoo. Loaded his chair and blankets into the back of the pickup and hauled them to the land fill. In the pickup I could tell the magic potion had worked to some extent but we weren't quite back to normal yet. So after returning from the landfill without the stinky chair and blankets, we did another bath with another quart of peroxide and quarter cup of baking soda. Along with the dash of dish soap. Either it worked pretty good or my sense of smell has adjusted to the point I'm not noticing the odor quite like before. It's a good thing we're still living in the shop and the house isn't quite done yet. And it's certainly a good thing Barb was headed to our daughter's place this morning for a four day visit as well.

Hi Sven: Good to hear of Negra's recovery. Scrinch's idea of the bungee cords sounds good - and more responsible - to me. Glad you and your clan are back to traveling on 3 wheels. /Lee

That's good news Sven. And I vote with Scrinch as well.
