Country living totally stinks!!!!!!

Just in case y'all didn't know we live in a cabin on 5 acres in the woods in Maine...podunkville small town population 1600. We have had fox in our driveway, deer, porcupines, even just last Wednesday we had a huge Bull Moose. I like it...but why does there now have to be a skunk too????

Less than a week ago While letting our 2 little adventuresome canines out to do the deed...They get sprayed by a skunk. We didn't even realize it until the door was already open...chasing them immediately back into the garage. I have been battling skunk stench every since. Aubreigh immediately researched a home remedy (since this all happened after 9pm.) In the mean time I am pouring tomato soup on them.....waiting for Aubreigh and Dale to gather the ingredients for the real recipe....I am gagging on the smell my tongue feels like it is swelling and all I can do is open the windows with the warm October 30 degree weather freezing out my house. I get through it. Friday we freeze from opening windows to clear the air. I open 10 boxes of Baking soda and place them throughout the house...My house smells like a cheap candle shop because I am burning every flavor I own...we suffer through this for the next 2 days...But things finally start to return to Normal and Dale prepares to head out of town for work for the next 2 days.

So fast forward to 11pm last night...I am missing Dale, My kids are cranky and not going to bed because they miss their dad...We should all be sound asleep and instead the puppies start ancying at the door like they need to go out to pee...so silly me, thinking that they are "trained" can just let them out, for all of about 5 minutes and we can return to the battles of bedtime. I go to the door to let them in and wouldn't you know it...stinky strikes again!!!!!It’s too late, I don't care let the stupid little boogers that didn't learn their lesson the first time freeze to death in the Garage..I will wash them when I get around to it...

Fast forward to today...I finally get around to it...I am emotionally prepared to battle the stench. Dale isn't home but I know if I do one puppy at a time we can get through this. So from memory I mix whatever the mixture was that Dale did...peroxide baking soda and dish soap....it doesn't matter how much really??? Right???? Well have you ever seen a dark haired person bleach their hair with peroxide???? Yep my little black mini schnauzers are now brown????? How now brown ....um dog!!!!!
