we live next to this really great park… people without dogs barely use it, and people with dogs frequently do (even tho they’re not technically allowed). we took them over a couple nights ago… it was kinda late for all of us, so it was extra dark.
once we crossed the bridge, they both took off into the forest. normally, this isn’t a huge deal, but something seemed a little off.
moments later, i could hear rustling and jones making a couple choice noises.
so, we ran toward the trees yelling for them to come back out.
eventually, they both ran back toward us and i could tell jones had been sprayed by a skunk before he even got close. he was shiny and disgusting.
if you’ve never smelled fresh skunk spray, consider yourself on the left hand side of luck.
we spent the next what seemed like forever figuring out the chemistry of hydrogen peroxide, shampoo, and baking soda washing the poor guy off.
