It is a good thing my dog is so cute! Otherwise my FI and I might have threw him out on the street last night to find a new home! (well ok we wouldn't ever do that! but the thought did cross our minds last night!)

 

So my dog Milo(our big great dane/lab mix) gets up at 3 in the morning last night needing to go outside to the bathroom. Fine, no big deal. well it had been raining and earlier in the week he had surgery on his foot so he is in a cast (that foot thing is a whole other story and he fine and recovering!). So because we can't get the cast wet, I wrap a plastic bag around his paw and send him out. Two seconds later he bolts across our yard (he shouldn't even be running because of his foot surgery). So I start yelling at him and then yell for my FI to come help me get him back inside. Finally Milo comes back and he smells like a SKUNK! Yep that is right he chased a skunk down at 3 in the morning with a bum foot in the rain girl_werewolf.gif

 

We were not happy to say the least! well this is the second time he has tried to chase this skunk down so we knew what to do. So i got our skunk mixture removal stuff ready and we SPONGED bathed him down because we couldn't get his foot totally wet. so after about an hour and a half of bathing him and cleaning up the mess we finally went back to bed at about 4:30.

 

This morning our house has a nice skunk odor to it and so does the dog!

 

AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH! girl_werewolf.gif

 

Sorry I just had to vent about that little adventure wink.gif

is this the combo you use?

 

If not, this works great! My FI stepped on a skunk last year, yes stepped on (he was walking dow1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide

For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.

n outside stairs, must have scared the skunk, and well they both met at the end the stairs and he stepped on it and the skunk sprayed!) and we used this and it took care of the smell!

 

1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent

Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.

Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.

Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.

yep that is the combo! peroxide, dish soap and baking soda...worked pretty well on the dog, he just has a slight smell to him today. but the house still does not smell very good because we made the mistake of letting him back in BEFORE we realized he was skunky!

You may want to put pinesol or some other strong smelling cleaner in small bowls and place them around the house...it helps eliminate odor in the air...

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
