9 days in

still dealing with the stink.

in the last 9 days we’ve…..

learned more than we ever wanted to know about what comes out of a skunk’s ass. no kidding. i can tell you how to get rid of a skunk, how to deter them from your property (it involves fox urine…..ick and motion lights), how to bathe your animal after an attack, how to clean your home and everything in it to rid the horrible, awful smell.

we’ve scrubbed, scoured, brushed, cleaned, disinfected, wiped every single surface, bleached every single toy, washed and sanitized every single dish, spoon, fork….you name it.

we’ve thrown away food. we’ve done 40+ loads of laundry (with at least another 50 to go). we’ve carried […]

it’ll be awhile

before I’m back.

I won’t be answering emails, inquiries or posting on the blog this week. This has been a complete nightmare.

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 was sitting in the living room proofing a few photos while Jason put Taryn down for the night. I heard something bump into the back wall on our porch […]
