Skunk 1, Rosie 0

Skunk 1, Rosie 0

We've had a skunk roaming the neighborhood and tonight it visited our yard. Rosie was on night patrol. Skunk 1, Rosie 0.

It got her in the face. Lots of yelping, rolling in the dirt, and a long bath with shampoo and then hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (nope, not tomato juice), followed by lots of rinsing.

She's sleeping in the kennel tonight.

Fortunately, the smell wasn't too bad. I guess it didn't fire everything it had. Or it's already had a busy night.
