Mephitis mephitis

Last night Jack met the local wildlife. When I took him out for his “quick pee” walk he took off down the hill and met up with a skunk. I knew by the time I was within fifty feet of him that he’d been sprayed. The odor removal trick that worked for us was a lot of dish soap (the skunk spray is an oil and the dishwashing liquid cuts oils) and a vinegar and water rinse (I read that Massengill is a popular method for getting rid of the odor and I figured vinegar and water is the same thing, cheaper and happened to be available). I would have taken pictures but he was so pathetic I didn’t want to add insult to injury.
