Even us city folks have to deal with wide life. Night before last, my dog was sprayed by a stunk in our back yard. I spent all day yesterday shampooing carpets. When the dog came in, she was wildly trying to rub the smell off by rubbing all over the carpet. Nothing like bathing your dog at 3 in the morning in tomato juice. The house is back to smelling some what better. Can you believe, my main concern was a quilt on the table not smelling like a skunk. All it needs is the binding. Its hanging outside on the clothesline, hope it smells OK when I bring it in. I may have to bind it outside and stick it in washing machine as soon as I bring it in the house. I read on line that vinegar and baking soda will cut the smell. Works too. May all your smells be sweet.
