We have a family of skunks living across the street and Lucy being the cuddler she is has become desperate to make friends with them. Wasn't a problem till yesterday when Momma skunk decided to walk her babies on our side of the road. Lucy saw her opportunity to cuddle with a new critter and.......well.......
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.

oooohhh, poor Lucy. I'll get a HUGE bottle of whiskey. No more smell after we finnish that one. Promise!

Poor Lucy. She's too cute for words. My parents' golden is exactly the same way.

How many cans of tomato juice does it take to clean a lovable dog?

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.

What a beautiful doggie! I've always heard to use tomato juice, too.

I third the tomato juice although I have never had the treatment nor applied the treatment so I am just a gossiping here.

She gets herself into more trouble than anybody I know. And it's always something stupid.

So where we talking about Lucy here or you? Just wondering.

Poor pooch. Does she lay on her back like that too? My dog Stella does and I find it hilarious.

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.

Awwwww poor Lucy.

Yeah..poor Lucy. Like Poor Bob.

AHAHAHAHAHAH Barman...good one!

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.

Poor, poor Lucy. What's a little BO between friends? LOL

St. Nick, that's why they call them sliders. They slide in and then right back out, ahahaha!!!

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.

Crabby and Barman,

No worries on giving poor ol'Lucy Highlights. That would be cool though.LOL My Chow is a blonde too, and she has had this treatment many times now, and no highlights yet.

They looks so sweet and cute but I haven't had the pleasure of the smell.

I'm glad I'm over here in the UK. :)

 

At 6/22/2007 2:42 PM, Blogger Crabby

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!

PMSL, norty skunk!!! what a lovely doggie. My Bondi is growing up now. He has been chasing sticks and bringign them back to me today, and I taught him to sit..good boy :)

 

At 6/23/2007 11:47 AM, Blogger Kingcover

Well that's ok because they give me weird looks as well ;)

Poor Lucy, being driven out of house and home by a few oversized rats. What a stinker! ;)

Tomato juice. And you have to bathe in it. For about an hour and it has soak everywhere. You might have to do it twice.

Don't ask me how I know.

` I somehow feel lucky, having been surrounded once by a family of six skunks and not once getting sprayed!
