So ashamed…
Ugh…. what do you do when the BIG DOGS bring something foul home? And yes, I mean foul, not FOWL. Black Majik decided it was her DESTINY to go to war with a polecat (aka skunk). Momma held her nose, said Peeee-YEWWW and flew off to find a cure!
Baking soda doesn’t work. Vinegar and water doesn’t work. The old standby tomato juice? Sure. Yeah. Not happening. Momma doesn’t DO tomato juice. Something about the color pink just isn’t her thing. Not even on a big, black MEAN dog.
Momma runs to the internet to see if there is ANYTHING to do to help. I’m in my own corner under the bed holding my nose and squeezing my watery eyes shut. Sorry, not much help on this one, Ma.
Next thing I know, Momma is off to the store. She totes a small bag back and pulls this brown bottle out, pours it in a bowl and adds some baking soda and blue dish detergent. Majik stands in the yard while Momma uses a grooming brush to rub her down. Rinsed in warm water, Majik doesn’t even shiver in the warm winter evening.
Personally, I think we’d all be better off just letting the DUMB DOG stay outside in the cold wet winter until she shivers the stink off, but no, not my Momma. After the peroxide bath, Majik is rubbed down and brought inside to stink us out. Yes, she still stinks!!
