Whew! Glad to hear the story had a happy ending.

No fun on the skunked dogs. Been there...done that several times, and the baking soda/peroxide cure works pretty well.

Several years ago, our Blue Heeler (outside dog..on a cable unless w/us) was raising Cain. It was about dark, and hubby was gone. Dumb me let her go and she headed right into the carport. Better her than me..right? Well..out she came, throwing a skunk in the air. The skunk would no more hit the ground than she had him again for another toss in the air. This went on until she got out in the drive and on the last toss, the skunk managed to get under the pasture gate where the dog couldn't get to him. The skunk got his rear up and the dog got it right in the face. Poor Blue! She headed for the grass, sliding on her face until her jaws and lips were raw. Did she learn her lesson this time?? Nooooooooo....the skunk returned a day or so later for more revenge on Blue. :> She had several baking soda/peroxide baths, but for about a year everytime the air was humid, she smelled skunky.
