Skunked

My husband and I have two dogs, one of whom seems to have a dark storm cloud permanently following him around. If something's going to happen to a dog, it's happened to Merrick.

Last night Merrick was skunked for the second time in about six months - this time right in the face. The reason for sharing is that I've found the best solution to removing the skunk smell.

You simply need hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and liquid dish soap - super simple. Read the full instructions (and heed their warnings as well) here. This little concoction is truly a lifesaver...

One other tidbit - to get rid of the skunk smell throughout your home or in your car, fill several shallow dishes with vanilla extract and place them wherever you need to get rid of the smell.
