Default Just been Skunked

It was bound to happen one day and today was the day.
Jethro gave us a good blast. Don't know what the fuss is about, its no worse than when Debra burns the garlic and onions.

Seriously it was not as bad as I thought it would be. It was literally like burnt onions and garlic. My eldest daughter was not too happy as it made her sick. The two little ones thought it was one big joke.

It was our fault as we had brought both the skunks in to the house on our continuing socialisation programme. We had locked the Dobermans out, or so we thought. Koda the male came through and decided to take a close look. Don't need to mention the rest it is self explanitory .

Best Wishes

We can only smell the house if you go out get some fresh air and come back in, it still smells.
Koda was not to bad luckily. He frothed a little from the mouth. We took him straight upstairs and showered him down, in case it was in his eyes. Gave a good wash down with head and shoulders shampoo ( nearest thing handy ) and he appears fine, doesnt smell to bad either. and he has no dandruff

We have 2 Dobermans called Koda and Kira ( username ) and they are both lovely dogs, wouldn't hurt a fly. Koda just wanted to have a look and knowing him give it a slobber. Poor thing.

.

House still a little iffy today but not too bad.

Koda the Doberman is fine, no problems from his encounter. It maybe my imagination but i am sure Jethro is walking with a certain swagger. I am sure if I could get a picture of his face there would be a cocky grin from ear to ear .

Best Wishes.
