"Mommy what smells?"
Well i have e-mailed the vast majority of our family and friends so y'all probably know of our situation today but i thought i'd just give an update and fill in those who don't already know..
Ben's back on mornings (oh happy day!!) but that means he's up by about 1:30am, when he was up and getting ready he heard something in the trash outside so he went outside thinking it was probably an opossom or squrel.. so Ben threw some hedge clipers that were next to the back door and then saw the white stripe backing away from him.. YES A SKUNK! Ben backed into the house as quietly as he could then realized when he was in that the skunk had obviously sprayed when he was "hit"... we have no clue where he specifically sprayed but it was aweful.. and to make matters worse we don't have A/C so all the windows in the house are open and have fan's blowing air from outside in (not a good thing when it stinks outside)... Ben quickly shut the window to the side of the house that was sprayed but it was too late the whole house really stunk..
luckely it rained and got much much cooler so that helped and then we put some vinegar and some stink-b-gon stuff on the grass and house and we can hardly smell it now..
ahhh the joy's of living in the country..
thanks for all of you who e-mailed me great tips.. i think we are going to go to Pets Mart and get that enzyme stuff it's a little pricy but it would be worth it to have some on hand in case our cat runs into a skunk or if this happens again!
love to all
