re: Dog skunked

This is almost exactly my experience this morning.

We are all doing better.
Mae has had 3 peroxide and baking soda baths.
House still smells, but is getting better.

Thanks all for the replies

Dog skunked

Posted by Slingscode on 6/23/26 at 11:33 am
Early this morning my dog, Mae, was sprayed by a skunk.
I pretty much have her under control, smell wise, after 3 hydrogen peroxide, banking soda and dawn baths.

Worse part of this is Mae got in the house before i understood what had happened. The place is awful smelling at the moment
I've searched to see if/ where she cross contaminated anything, but haven't found anything yet.

Suggestions are most welcomed
One thought is that since it's taking them sooooo long to release these opinions, is that the minority is dragging their feet with the dissents. This may be a good sign.

Or maybe just wishful thinking.

Just remodeled the living room. Our IT closet is there.
I asked the contractor to install an AC vent into the closet.
Can shut a damper to it in the winter.
Just purchased a
Samsung - 75" Class R95H Series Micro RGB 4K Glare-Free TV with SamsungVisionAI (2026).

Extremely happy with it so far.
I actually did a winter there in a consulting gig.
Aside from the cold, i thought it a pretty nice city.
If they did the work, they deserve to be paid
That's a disjointed argument.

Can we dispense with the details and just put a bullet into you?

This....i have about 5 acres, and love cutting grass listening to outlaw country
I love my dog more than most people.
I don't take her to restaurants, or on airplanes.
But pretty much everywhere else.
Man, I used to live in that area about 40 yrs ago.
Looks like it's gone downhill
