What's That SMELL

The joys of living in the country.

Sometimes it means you will come into contact with wild animals.

Last night on their nightly walk, Mr. M. and Cooper our Golden Retriever,

came in contact with one of those wild animals.

A SKUNK!

Before Mr. M. knew what was happening, the dog had grabbed the skunk.

TO LATE!

The damage was done.

At 9:00, Mr. M. was scrubbing the dog with a recipe I found on the Internet.

hydrogen peroxide

baking soda

dawn dish soap

This morning I went out to check on THE DOG.

HE STILL STINKS!

More googling, Mr. M. found a pet store that will let him wash THE OFFENDER in their store if he buys the shampoo there.  Mr. M. says that is much better than doing it in the cold.

I have a feeling that if Mr. M. walks the dog in the dark, he will be sure to carry a flash light at all times.

Just a funny story I thought I would share.

As for me, I am home with a sick little guy.

We are finishing up the decorating and watching lots of Christmas movies.

A few of my favorite movies are; White Christmas, The Holiday and Home Alone.

How about you, do you have a skunk story or a favorite Christmas movie?
