mbc1963 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I put Cricket out in the yard yesterday evening. Went to bring her in just past sunset, and... SKUNK SMELL! I'm not sure what happened, but a skunk must have walked near her and sprayed. It wasn't a drenching, but it was enough to require a bath in Skunk Remedy. You would think I had taken the poor dog and beaten her with a stick! After the bath, she wouldn't come near me, wouldn't let me touch her: she laid on the couch, trembling and looking at me with utter distrust. Woebegone! She seems to be over her trauma this morning. Not sure I can manage the guilt if she gets sprayed again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbc1963 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Ridiculous little dog! I took her for her morning walk. Let go her leash at a local pond - she likes to drive the ducks into the water. (She's been terrified of water since I got her!) But today, after the "trauma" of last night's bath, she did a full-on, labrador-perfect, dock-diving-champion-level leap into the pond. It was a thing of beauty. Wish I had filmed it. But she was mucky and filthy when she came out. ::Sigh:: Had to hose her off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentleLake Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Too funny! I guess after the scary bath the pond didn't look so daunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
