It’s 2:09 am.

Ask me what we have been doing for the last 5 hours.

We have been trying to get the smell of SKUNK out of our house. Yes, skunk.

Nasty.

Nasty can’t even begin to describe it. For a germ-o-phobe like me, this is a complete nightmare. You know that smell when you’re driving in your car and you know a skunk was nearby. That is nothing compared to what we have. Nothing. It’s 10 million times worse. It smells like horribly burnt garlic with a side of burnt rubber.

I took this after his bath, he was rolling around on the bed, tangled up in his lovey.
