skunk out

I HATE SKUNKS!!!! For the obvious reason.....they smell so bad!! I can handle the occasional instance when you come across one while driving and your car smells for a couple of minutes. But, for some reason they are attracted to the field next to my house. The smell instantly engulfs my house and lingers forever.

Earlier this summer, our dog got sprayed right in the face. I swear she must have been trying to sniff its butt!! It was soooo bad. It happened at 2am, so I had no clue what was going on. It was so strong I couldn't even tell what I was smelling. The whole house was filled with the smell and it was litterly burning my eyes. Crazy night!! Lola still smells slightly of skunk butt!! It took 3 weeks for the smell to completely vacate my house!!

That was about 4 months ago. Well tonight I was sitting in my room and what did I suddenly smell? SKUNK!!! I jumped up and said "Oh crap, Lola is outside!" I ran to the door to find her staring through the glass, opened the door and smelled her. She smells like skunk!!!! She didn't get directly sprayed this time, so that's a plus I guess!!! She must have remembered her close encounter last time and got the heck out of there.

So, Lola will be sleeping in the basement tonight. Jevin is not very happy, because she sleeps with him every night and she acts as his big stuffed animal. I will also be sleeping on the couch because my room reeks!!
