DYK - tomatoe juice baths really does do the trick (to some degree) on dogs sprayed by skunks. Dogs don't like it, but a couple baths with it really helps.

DYK - personal experience here: I know that it doesn't take that long to get the dog smelling normal. 2 days is more like it. Maybe grumpy is saying it's 2 1/2 wks if you don't do anything to counter-act the hit.

DYK..there is a product called Odormute that kills the odor of a skunk and is safe on the skin of humans and pets...It is a powder that is mixed with water (specific amounts not remembered offhand) sponge onto the dog (or self or other pet) until soaked through to the skin...this can be more difficult on some breeds of dogs...then rinse with plain clear water...and the odour is gone. Our dog of thirty years ago got sprayed at least four times one summer (that was a very bad summer) so we knew all the tricks!!!

DYK...that Dr. Bronner's takes the skunk smell off, too? Good for you...good for the dog! Eucalyptus works best...but peppermint and lavender smell better.

When my mom got sprayed by a skunk it took 2 weeks before she could go back to work. She was paranoid for a long time and if someone acted like they were smelling something bad...she freaked out.

DYK, that I re-read my post. We have our dogs inside the house. Well when my girl got sprayed when she went to go potty, KTBB, let her in & the smell was soooo bad! But they are inside dogs so we left them in bcuz we didnt realize at the time Danney got sprayed. Not until I got to work and smelled of Skunk bcuz Danney wiped that smell all over me. So, I guess I was trying to say "DYK, That it takes 2 1/2 weeks for the smell to go away from the house she has been in all day after she got sprayed." But really she must have been on top of that skunk because we gave her baths in stuff to take away the smell, but if you sniffed her neck after 2 weeks you could still smell skunk.

(I had no place to share this fun factoid I just read while reading up on some history) Did you know that the reason American horse racing tracks started racing counter clockwise, while in European countries they race clockwise, is because it was little form of rebellion against England back in the Revolutionary years. NY's Belmont was the last track to finally go counter clockwise in 1921. It's interesting to me something as little as the direction our horse races originally came out of something political.

DYK that people who are over 59 1/2 and have retirement CDs can go in and change their CD rate and terms (can't take the money out) once every 12 months. This is true for IRA, Keogh and SEP. DYK if you go into a bank and ask to change terms, most times they will tell you you can't do it and you have to have them call the IRA department to find that it is a law. After the first time,they seem to be fine changing it in that branch. One of life's little secrets.

DYK that applies to lots of things, Sadiesmom? I remember in the 90's when I had my first decent paying job and finally saved enough to go buy my dream stereo receiver. Unfortunately, by the time I saved the $600 I needed, the price had gone up to over $700. I went in the back room with the owner of the store and said "Look, this all I have. Either I buy it at this price, or I have to leave without buying anything". He gave it to me for $600 This was a family owned shop, not a chain.

Gee, I know I get the best deals when I really don't want something. I was buying a dining room set for 5K a life time ago, when I entertained a lot and had a two income excecutive family. I just thought it was too expensive. So I asked my mother to look at it in another store, she went in and went she told the guy I wanted her opinion, he offered 10% off if I bought it from him. So I went back to the store location near me and told him of the offer, he offered 15% off. My mother went back and got it for 20% off. The set is still a beautiful piece I treasure today, but I was surprised at how few people want me to leave it to them in my will. It is so well made and solid Cherry wood not veneer. Same with my solid oak bedroom set. They say it is not "modern". I like traditional and I oil and wax it every year, much like my old leather club chairs.
