HORRIBLE WAY TO START THE DAY..!

I don't know why, but Labs seem to be skunk spray magnets! I don't know how many midnight baths I have had to give our various Labs over the years!!
Go to your local outdoors store and get a spray bottle of Scent-A-Way! I know..it is supposed to mask human odor, but seems to work great after the soda/Dawn/peroxide bath. Just spray the dog, keeping it out of the eyes, and concentrate on the worst affected area.

Can't speak for all, but our Labs just weren't/aren't hunters. They've all been lovers, and just want to play with anyone/anything they meet.

If that happens to be a skunk... 🦨💨🐕🤢

I have to agree with ya.... This lab loves to chase the armadillos around when she sees them. And they just run away. But she picked on the wrong critter for 2 days in a row. Ever since the 1st day she got sprayed her inside skin hangs out her lower jowls on both side. Maybe just swollen or a reaction...?

I've not heard of that before. I'd look into it, and take her in if warranted.

We called our vet yesterday afternoon and they said yes it could have swollen some glands in her mouth or she had a skin reaction to the spray. So stay tuned...?

I've never understood why dogs do that. But I read something one time that said "To a dog, there is no such thing as a good smell or bad smell. It's all just varying degrees of interesting." I guess the more pungent the smell to a human, the more interesting to a dog...

Not heard that, but ... My dog (gone now) like to eat Shit... literally... and one day I was walking the dog in the park behind my house when she made a beeline to what I couldn't tell until I looked close and saw it was a pile of shit...
She wanted to start eating it, and I had to drag her away... that's when I noticed something REALLY disgusting ....
🤢🤮 There was toilet paper next to the pile of shit...
Will never forget that as long as I live... 🤣

Coprophagia. Often an indicator of some dietary deficiency or other medical problem, can also be behavioral.

We had a border collie that would eat "tootsie rolls"out of the cat's box, but that was it. No interest in any other feces.

I have a similar story involving someone I once knew and his 2 GSD+ 💩, but I won't tell it here.

I've never heard of that Copro.. but a lot of people have said that their dog also ate shit.. 🤢

Well here's a first for me.... Day started as usual at 5 am. Let dogs out, turned on TV, got my 1st cup of coffee and let the dogs back in. Now it's 1/2 hr later, surfing Tnet and the cats are awaiting their food on deck just outside a large glass slider door. Soooo... I grab the cat food container and our black lab and I go outside to feed the cats as usual. The lab walks off the deck and is sniffing around under 1 of 3 vehicles in driveway. Suddenly it yells, runs up on deck pass me and into the house it went. YES I left that slider glass door cracked open. What followed was horrible...!!!!

SKUNK.... I instantly went after the dog. The dog had cleared the living room, passed thru kitchen, then dining room and was in my large newly remodeled pool room. After a couple trips around the pool table it was heading into the other half of large room to nose dive on the new carpet...!!!!!! My girlfriend was sitting in there watching the other big screen and having her coffee. I yelled "Don't touch the dog... it got sprayed by a skunk". When I yelled the dog froze and I ran past it to open the other large sliding glass door in that room. Out the door it went back on the deck. Now the girlfriend has a nose full of it and isn't happy either. Then the A/C kicks on and we spread it throughout the entire house. I'm pissed, she's pissed and the dog is miserable.

Dog got it's first bath about 20 minutes later from a mixture of baking soda, Dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. Looks like the dog got a face full on the right side. The house reeks. Girlfriend heading to store now to get a LOT MORE of everything to wash up this dog even better. As far as the house I don't have a clue as to how to rid it of this smell. Dogs new home is the deck for today. Now I just watched that skunk run out from under the van and into my 12X12 shed across the driveway. I leave the wooden door cracked open for the cats...! What a day thus far....!!!!!!!!!!!

Wash the dog in tomato juice. That will take the smell out.....I've done it and vouch for it. Good luck.

We used the peroxide, Dawn and baking soda mixture and it did a great job on both days. Day 1 she got a double bath. Day #2 wasn't as bad as day #1's spray. Still had to believe she got sprayed on back to back days.

Zeolite works pretty good.

I wouldn't know about that particular method, but I love Shawn's videos. 😍

Dude knows how to catch mice!

I use coffee tubs with about a one inch hole cut in the lid. Then positioned with hole nearest ground near six o'clock position.
A flat piece of wood or stone to support trap in round tubs.
Usually a branch or two on outside sets to keep from rolling in a wind. One either side on the ground can be enough. Or one laid cross the top. Mice don't care.

Trap cubby set stays working in winter.
Neighbors cats don't run off with trap and dead mouse.
Birds and non target critters seldom encountered.

Saw this...couldn't pass it up. It's the skunk version of Clint Eastwood's "Go ahead .... make my day". Or possibly it's Skunk porn...idk.

I'll go with the "Go ahead and make my day" line.... but then I was highly influenced earlier within week...!

Just realized that if he drops that tail over his head, not only are you looking right down the barrel (so to speak), his back legs act like perfect stabilizers.

Sorry I did have to laugh. Yeah, tomato juice is supposed to help.

You do know Brad... People have pet skunks. I'll venture a guess you won't be the "Tennessee Skunk Guy"
