Must have been a herd of them. We now have 3 dogs who smell to the heavens. The mini dachshund got the brunt of it because while the other two backed down and ran, she decided to show her bravery and went charging in.

It was so bad our neighbor, about 3/4 of a mile away called up. "What in the hell happened up there?"

Today I put on my swim trunks and made up the solution and scrubbed all 3 down. 3 times. They aren't very fond of me.

Damn dogs. Damn skunks.

I believe my farm dogs actually liked the smell.

When we smelled it, we shut the windows and turned off the vents to the house.

The Mrs. lit some incense so now the house smells like a cross between turd and Catholic Service (she's Catholic so save me the pain).

Once I got them cleaned up, they rolled in the dirt. One while he was walking away, raised his tail and showed my his butthole like he was saying "Here's yours".

I'm probably alone in feeling this way, but a very faint smell of skunk on a summer night while out driving is actually quite pleasant to me. I've often liked it mixed in with the scent of pines or alfalfa fields. Certainly not enough to gag a maggot of course, but just a very very faint smell mixed in with others.

I don't know...guess I'm weird.

Our two have been hit a total of 3 times in 2018. The last one was 2 months ago and she still reaks all to hell. I need to shave her bald or something.

We have been using peroxide, baking soda and blue dawn mixed to the consistency of toothpaste. Soak them and let sit for 45 minutes. Repeat 2-3 times.

The last dog to get hit, stuck her little head through the hole in the fence and got blasted at PB range. Yellow oil and all.

Help is but a phone call away. Maybe too much exposure to laughing gas. You probably like the smell of embalming fluid as well.

Hummm...the recipe I have calls for 1 qt of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 tsp liquid soap. Fortunately I’ve not had to use it but best of luck

That recipe worked on our two dogs... required several applications... and it's best to let them soak a little before rinsing.

Only $7.99 at Cabela's.

A little dab behind your ears and on the wrists ...

Mine is similar

Nope, nope, nope. Formaldehyde is a stench you just can't get rid of. Funny part is, after awhile you don't smell it, but everyone else does.

I had a work study job doing dissections in a gross anatomy lab one semester. We'd go out afterwards to a local watering hole for a few and everyone always gave us a wide berth. Couldn't understand why until one of the beertenders, a really cute young gal named Rachel, pulled me aside and asked me why we smelled like dead people. You should have seen her face when I told her.

This works, the soap should be Dawn. I have used it several times and it does the job. I have a Skunk Bucket for our early SD pheasant hunts. It is a Lowes bucket with 1 galloon water, a box of Arm & Hammer, a quart of hydrogen peroxide, and a handheld shower extension that fits over a hose bib. 3 X application will get rid of 99% of the odor. Oh, and don't forget the rubber gloves for you or you won't be able to eat a sandwich for a week.

Thanks that was funny.

+1. I'll add that it seemed to be in my labs pores and skin. As they sweat, more odor comes out and you'll need to repeat as needed over a week or two more.

Skunk-Off.

End of story.

Skunk-Off

Doggone

Not too long ago, a skunk casually strolled across my patio. Followed by 4 skunklets! The kids pack more punch than Mom does.

They still had the funky smell so they got another one today. All 3 actually growled at me when they saw the bucket and brush.

No, at a large distance, it is okay, almost pleasant. Maybe it just reminds me of summer evenings.

But at spraying range, skunk smell will make your eyes water and you'll gag. It is bad.
