Stinkin' Dog

Do not let this picture fool you! They are a pain! When these dogs are in doggy heaven I am never getting another one!

Last week I blogged about the dog poop incident, I thought that was the end of the story. I was wrong. Let me bring you up to date.

After the dog poo thing, Trucker and I shampooed the carpets Monday evening. Not a big deal; the carpets needed shampooing and if the dog is sick he cannot help it. We got it all taken care of.

Wednesday night we get home from the King's softball game around 10:00 pm. When we pull into the driveway Trucker lets the dogs out to see us. They were not interested in us - they were more interested in the skunk in the yard. You know what that means - at 10:00 at night I am giving the dog a bath. Now our carpets stink, again! I hope that if we leave the house open and spray lots of flowery smelling sprays around we will get rid of the skunk smell sooner or later. It took a few days (a few smelly days), but the smell finally did leave the house.

Yesterday morning I let the dogs out as soon as I got up. By the time I am done feeding them and getting fresh water for them they are barking at the door wanting back in. As soon as I open the door and they run past me - I smell it. Not skunk, this smell made the skunk smell pretty, I do not know if this is rotten fish or garbage. It is a gross and disgusting smell, that is all I know. Back in the tub Ziggy goes. Back in the tub Toad goes.

This morning I sit down at the computer to check the news, weather and blog. Trucker comes in with the dogs behind him. What do you think I smell? The same smell I smelled yesterday! I still don't know if it is garbage or fish. I did not give Zig the pleasure of a nice warm bubble bath today. I took him outside and hosed him down with freezing cold water, shampooed him up and rinsed him off with more freezing cold water. I do not think this will teach him a lesson, but it was easier than getting him in the tub and dumping water over him.

I am hoping that I got him back outside quick enough that our house will not smell like he did. Plus I am burning a vanilla/cinamon candle. At least that will make our house vanilla/cinamon/garbage/fish scented.

Okay, I am done being annoyed now. When these two dogs enter their eternity I will be getting another one!
