(Why me?) I let the puppy outside about 20 minutes ago. He disappeared for a few minutes, and when he re-appeared at the door I opened it to let him in. And then I smelled it. Skunk. Ugh. Double ugh. As bad as I feel, I can only imagine how Duncan feels right about now. I put him in the tub immediately and bathed him using Elizabeth's baby shampoo (no tears!). He got off relatively lightly, I think--only his head smells. Last year, Baxter got "stunked," as Elizabeth said. I bathed him in a solution made up of 1 quart peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon liquid soap--I found the recipe on the internet. It works surprisingly well. I'll try it on Duncan tomorrow. Tonight, he will be confined to his crate...
