I don't even know what to title this post. It seems like everything coming to mind sounds so dirty. So I'll just get right into this... my friend Sarah's dog was sprayed by a skunk a while back and we were laughing about how after soaking the dog in tomato juice she is now unable to receive that rejuvenating feeling of you can only get by drinking a homemade bloody mary the morning after a long night. I can easily imagine how a sleepless night in a bathtub with a dog covered in skunk juice and multiple cans of v8 can do that for you. After this exhausting evening with her dog it turns out the tomato didn't do a whole lot of good. V8 has always been what I had heard worked best for skunk spray but apparently for this little guy, it didn't do a whole lot. She got the recommendation from a friend to try a slightly different, yet no less off-puting liquid on her dog. Douche. Yes, douche. She bought 8-10 douches at the grocery story, and wished she had gone to Sam's Club for the economy pack, because apparently those babies aren't that cheap! Sarah sprayed the douche liquid all over her little pup and he finally went from smelling like dog --> dog + skunk --> dog+ skunk + tomato juice --> dog+ skunk + tomato juice + rose petals. Low and behold though, after enough of those douches got shot on the poor little pup he came out smelling mostly like rose petals! Lucky Guy! So now you know, if your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, avoid ruining bloody mary's for yourself, head to Sam's, grab some douches and get to spraying!!
