Skunked

Maisy has been indirectly skunked once and directly skunked once. Apparently, I have a skunk visitor every night even though I have Nothing! the skunk could possibly want. I've done the research. Methinks some trapping an releasing could be in my future.

However, I am pleased to discover that the horrendous, nose-burning odor that is a direct spray is not difficult to remove. I bathed Maisy with a 1/4 cup baking soda, a quart hydrogen peroxide and a teaspoon of dish soap. Massage it in, careful on the face, sit for a couple minutes and rinse. Febreze the house. Wash your clothes and towels or discard. Because the skunk spray was fresh, this worked well.

Just don't smell between her eyes...
