SIDE NOTE - The Skunk Saga

Last night, a little before 1:00, Cedar wanted to go outside. So as usual, we let him out. It wasn't long before Trev knew something wasn't right.

Cedar was outside our bedroom door barking like crazy! He came to the door wanting in just a bit later. Not EVEN dreaming of what the problem outside was, we let him back in. And boy could you smell it right away!!

The wonderful skunk aroma consumed our small house very fast! Trev ran and got paper towels trying to wipe some of the oil off Cedar. I started getting bath stuff together. Lucky Cedar, got 2 baths with doggy shampoo and 1 in lemon juice. (That was all we had in the house that we thought might at least help.) After we got finished with Cedar's baths, we got him out dried him off and sprayed him good with Febreze and Febreeze Air freshener. The poor little guy could tell he had done something wrong...and we weren't happy about it!

Before we went back to bed, we sprayed a ton of stuff around the house and tried to do something about the smell. Trevor got on Google and started taking notes on what people said worked to get the smell out and what doesn't.

So, this morning, I have the washing machine going full speed, cinnamon cooking on a sheet pan in the over, and the lamp thingy burning. As well as, white vinegar, peroxide, and baking soda all by my side! (I'm just waiting for it to warm a little outside and I plan to open all the doors and windows too!)

We shall see what works! Hopefully...
