Update -Smelly Situtation

Update - This afternoon the smell was about 95% out of River, and 99% out of our house. We were so happy to possibly have him sleep inside tonight. We thought we would be smart and take River out to the bathroom ( in our fenced backyard) at 8:00pm. I wasn't taking any chances. Dennis and I went upstairs for a few minutes and then we smelled the AWFUL smell again. I just screamed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. We ran outside and wouldn't you know. The skunk came back and sprayed River AGAIN! Poor River was almost able to sleep in the house, and now he's back in the garage.
The skunk was tying his hardest to get under our porch again. We are starting to wonder if possibly we have baby skunks under our deck and that's why he/she wants under there so bad. We don't leave food out etc... We called the Wildlife Control for the county and they said they could put a trap out tomorrow, but once we trap the skunk, we will have to kill it ourselves and then dispose of him ourselves. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! So, I have an official with the city wildlife program coming by tomorrow to see what he can do with this little problem we have. It's really getting old.

I want to move back to Texas. Do they have skunks in San Antonio?




The Story -

We have a smelly situation on our hands. Last night we let our dog, River, out in the backyard before bed. Hiding under the deck was a skunk. We had no idea he got sprayed until we let him in the house. As soon as he came in the house, you could smell it. It was like nothing I have ever experienced before. It was beyond awful. It was so overpowering as if we had been tear gased. Poor Dennis was about throwing up from the smell. We had all the windows and doors open and nothing helped. We put River downstairs until we could figure out what to do.

Today, we have tried all the home remedies to get the stink out of the house. We've covered River in tomato juice, spaghetti sauce ( don't ask), and other potions. River still smells - BAD. The house smells better but we can still imagine the odor.

Early today, Dennis and Zack were outside hosing off the deck and out of the corner of his eye he saw something black coming out from under the deck. Dennis first assumption was it was River. In an instance he realized it was the skunk again. He was hiding out under our deck all night. Just as quick as the dog was sprayed by the skunk, the skunk got sprayed by the hose. Tail up and running out toward the open gate. The pest was gone.

Tomorrow is the first day of school. Hopefully, the kids don't go to school smelling.


Rinsing off the Tomato Juice. Thank goodness for Zack's toy gas mask



Zack is pretty grossed out




Poor River doesn't like being stuck outside.



The next two pictures just made me laugh
