Oksewnsew, you have my kind of luck. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is always faced with some kind of mess. My little white golden retriever got skunked one morning as we were going to the barn. I saw her take off towards the woods and just in front of her was some little black fuzzy critter that I was hoping was stray cat, but I caught glimpse of white on the tail and I knew it wasn't a kitty. Maggie barked once and then turned and came toward me shaking her head and blinking her eyes. Yep, in the face, I guess that's right at squirt height. Luckily, I escorted Maggie back to the house and put her in the back yard until I tended the horses. The only thing I had was a large can of petite dices tomatoes that I had bought for chili too. So she got rubbed good with tomatoes, I think the acid smell of the tomatoes cut the skunk. It didn't completely neutralize the skunk smell, thankfully I have some spray called Nature's Miracle that I use to spritz them in the summer - my dogs swim and fish daily in the summer and it's not good to shampoo them weekly so they always have a wet dog smell. Rubbed the Nature's Miracle in and you never would have known she was skunked. Now I wonder if she saw a skunk again it she would remember not to chase it?? I feel your pain!
