Skunk!

Uggghhh- Our dog, Indy, was sprayed by a skunk last night at 10:30p.m.! Needless to say it was the last thing we wanted to deal with right before bed. And the worst is that Joe let him in the house before he realized that he had been sprayed- and before Joe could get a hold of him he managed to roll on the carpet, our huge suede foam bean bag chair, and Lily's parachute toy! Joe spent over half an hour bathing him with dish soap and a mixture of baking soda and peroxide. It seems to have mostly worked- now it's just the rest of our house that stinks! We put the suede cover to the chair and the parachute outside for now- and now I'm just trying to deal with the carpet and the general stink (it seems to have penetrated everything)! It's not nearly as bad as last night, so I am greatful- and thanks to my dad (who makes candles) I have many candles burning throughout the house. This morning I also got some vegetable enzyme spray that worked wonders when Indy rolled in rotten fish a few years back- so hopefully it will do as well with skunk! Joe is on a big hiking trip with a group of freshmen today (they left around 4a.m.)- so hopefully by the time he gets back tonight the house will be smelling somewhat better! Good thing for Indy that we love him!:)
