It was 6:30 am...I had taken my shower, put on my make-up...all that was left was fixing my hair.
I poured a cup of coffee called up Lucky to go outside, leashed him, pulled up my hood, and opened the door. Yawning, coffee in one hand and leash lazily held in the other I was ready for another relaxing, tranquil, calming walk into the dark, drizzling raining morning....
As we stepped on the porch....Lucky lunged with super dog strength, knocked the coffee from my hand, my feets slid across the wet porch. The leash left my hand and I looked to see him CIRCLING A SKUNK...AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS.
It wasn't afraid...it faced him... moving as he moved. I clammored down the stairs, grabbed his leash hoping to yank him to safety and suddenly the stench...oh the stench. And Lucky wrinkled his nose I swear, three fold like an accordian.
So......the skunk pittered off in the cayose and Lucky and I went our way but he was too excited to poop and we both smelled.
FYI....1 quart of peroxide, 1 quart water, 1/4 cup baking soda and 2 tablespoons of dish soap does wonders...even when used during the pouring rain. I'm thinking my neighbors believe I'm eccentric giving my dog a bath when its raining cats and dog.
That's my saga for the day.
