Years ago my Golden got sprayed.

I was up at my cabin in the middle of a Nor'Easter. Raining like hell and about 0300 my dog nudges me while I am sleeping. Not the "I'm bored, I want a little pat on the head and I will go back to sleep, nudge", but the "I have got to **** so bad I can taste it" nudge.

Over to the slider we go....
I open the door and she heads out into rain that would have made Noah say "daaaayum, it's raining hard". Though the darkness I can barely make her out, then out of the corner of my eye I catch something small and dark moving as well. Too late, she saw it too and tore off after it. It only took a second to figure out that it wasn't a coon. The dog is now rolling on the grass, and wiping her face incessantly. As she comes to to door I am greeted with that wonderful odor......fuuuuuuuk me.

20 minutes later there I am at the 24hour Walmart super center check out, a large Rubbermaid tub and about 6 bottles of lemon juice on the belt.
Clerk: <looks at my stuff, then at me> "Skunk?"
Me: "Ya think?"

Washed the dog several times with the lemon juice and it did kill most of the odor....that or I simply got used to it.

In any case, for the next 6 months, whenever she got wet or it was really damp outside there was always this smell of skunk in the air. I think it gets into their skin.

I F'in hate skunks.
 
Yeah, those Goldens love to chase **** down....mine seems a bit mollified now....like EVERYTHING that moves just might not be there for her entertainment....which is a good thing cause there's more fresh coyote **** on the front lawn today! :bang head:

When I was getting the gallon of tomato juice for my dogs wash, The lady asked If I was making bloody Marys.

Sorry Danny, I bet the real trick was getting your dog to the groomer without stinking your vehicle up.
 
Got lucky Tim, my wife found an old quilt that I put on the back seat (king cab) and while she was being groomed I went home, removed the quilt and vacuumed the truck....so it wasn't that bad.

The ride TO the groomer was mildly unpleasant tho!! :barf:
