about
The following pics below pretty much show how Lucy's day went.
Big stick. Good stick.
Find stink weed. Fun to roll in stink weed. Make Lucy smell like real dog. Not like puffy foo foo dog with bow on head across street.
NEW
NEIGHBORS!
GOOD TO CUDDLE.
LUCY WILL LOVE THEM
AND HUG THEM
AND KISS THEM
AND PLAY WITH THEM.
UGH OH!
LUCY NOT ALLOWED IN HOUSE. NOT ALLOWED CLOSE TO CRABBY. NEIGHBORS WON'T SCRATCH LUCY'S EARS. UPS MAN SAY, peeeeU!
LUCY ALL ALONE.
Mone, so....the whiskey is for us? LOL!
Curly, I dunno. I went straight for the skunk odor remover. LOL! Doesn't work perfectly but then, nothing does on skunk. All I can say is, Lucy can plan on getting a LOT of hose baths.
I think all Goldens are the same. They know no strangers. Everybody is their pal. Goofy dog. She gets herself into more trouble than anybody I know. And it's always something stupid.
Joy, tomato juice is the very next thing on my list. Sadly, I ran into a bit of a problem today myself. Ok...I ran into a HUGE problem. Hopefully I don't have any reason I have to leave the house.
Barman, SMACK SMACK SMACK! We're talking about Lucy, although after what I did today....well....I doubt I'll ever hear the end of it. Well, at least now I know why my Doc told me not to try it.
Justacoolcat, YES! All the time. She'll even lay on her back and hold her toy up in the air in both paws. It's funniest though when she falls asleep on her back and starts snoring. What a goober.
I understand that bathing in tomato juice will remove the skunk smell. I never tried it, though, and I rather suspect that Lucy would prefer the skunk on her than the tomato juice.
As for White Castles, the ones I ate yesterday sent me home to the toilet. For more on those gutbusters, gluies, stomach bombs, sliders, see my June 20th blog post.
our dogs got sprayed 4 times in 19 days a couple summers back, we found the almost total cure for deskunking the dogs.
A large bottle of hydrogen peroxide, box of baking soda, a large squirt or two of liquid hand soap (like Dial or like) mix with spoon, lather dog up with it, with no water, wait a few minutes, rinse off, and then wash with your regular dog soap.
We have a Chow, who skunks, raccoons, and woodchucks must just push her buttons.
Best of luck to Lucy. Lovely dog.

Gab, You have no idea how much trouble this dog gets herself into. It's always one hair-brained idea after another one. This morning she got her nose stuck in a chipmunk hole. She shoved it down there so hard that it took her several minutes of tugging to get it back out.
Milky, please. I'm a walk in the park compared to this critter. She has it all over me in the trouble department. Only thing keeping her from taking the record is.....no fingers.
Nick, white castles and I have a history as you know. Ya love em...then ya hate em...real bad. LOL! I actually have a video of Bob and I going to White Castle cause we had the crave. LOL!
bt, a little BO? ahhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha! She curdles milk when she walks by.
Sign, that is soooo dead on. LOL! And they make great car fresheners.
Shell, I have everything but the peroxide. I'm almost out of that. I'm off to the store now to pick up another bottle. I'll let you know how it works for my stinky yellow dog.
Oh no, you are going to follow what Shell said? Why do I get the feeling you are going to have the first dog ever to have highlights in her fur? I can't wait for this one.
Oh and Shell, I am not picking on you. I just have my suspictions of how Crabbs is going to do with the application. The Peroxide has me worried is all.

Skunks are cool little creatures. I mean, tell me what other animal goes around with its butt up in the air ..... and let's live prostitutes out of the equation here :D
Crabster I can't find your email addy here. I would like to add you to my new blog list. It's invitation only.
Kingcover (formerly Gareth) ;)
Barman, have a little faith will ya? Shell and I soooo know what we're doing. Just like always.
Gareth, where thee hell have you been? I've been trying and trying to get on your page.
I have my e-mail in the profile but it's not showing up. that certainly explains the lack of mail lately. LOL!
It's crabgotgame@yahoo.com
kingcover, thanks for finally unlocking the door. Your neighbors were giving me weird looks. Like they've never seen anyone in a chicken hat before. PAH!
Shell, hot DAMN! It works! Now she smells fine. Sadly, I don't. I had a little accident washing the windows. Now I smell like a salad.
Suze, aren't they beautiful? I was really surprised how pretty they are close up. But the smell...YEEGADS!
Check your shoes before you leave.
oooohhh, poor Lucy. I'll get a HUGE bottle of whiskey. No more smell after we finnish that one. Promise!
