When you're de-skunking like a maniac because people are coming to visit this weekend and you ask... WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING because it's quiet...

Burning rubber.

That's a pretty good description actually! Overwhelming!

I threw the sweatpants I was wearing when I gave her bath within 5 minutes of the incident into our master bedroom closet without thinking... So now ALL our clothes have a waft of skunk
When Buddy got skunked, it was a little on the cool side and I had a coat on when it happened and when I bathed him. I threw it right in the washer with vinegar and God knows what else. I never noticed a lingering smell except on Buddy's face. :sick:
 
Our supervisor hit one on the way to work the other morning and she said that was all she could smell after that. She said there was an oncoming car so all she could do was try to straddle it but something on the underside still caught it. I hate it when I even get a tire in the vicinity of a dead one but that happened the other day and both of the dogs had their hackles up when they walked past it in the garage.
 
Burning rubber. Stinky marijuana. Gasoline. X100 You can smell a dead skunk in the road with the windows up even way after you pass it.

YES! THIS FOR SURE! I always describe it as someone who's peeling the rubber of their car tires on the road. I use to smell it all the time off the Jersey Turnpike. One dead skunk smelled up a frikken mile, we'd have to drive another with the windows down just to get the smell out of the car. :green:
 
Wow, totally glad that there are no skunks in Australia! Dead roos, cattle and wild pigs can be retchworthy, but not so overwhelming, and if some naughty Doberman has a good roll in one it usually only takes a couple of baths to get rid of the stench. Skunks seem to have developed a pretty sure defense strategy against all comers. Wouldn't want to startle one yourself! :eekwtf:
 
Thank you @Kaiser2016! I say all the time how lucky I feel to be able to live where I do. My mom swears once her house sells she's coming up here to stay, so I am being very hopeful she doesn't back out!

We've been spending daily outside time as the weather is so nice, everyone enjoys themselves:).

A newt found in the dirt by the fire pit, a tiny but pretty little thing!

A tiger swallowtail, they are large and plentiful in my area. I've seen clusters of over a dozen in certain spots in the yard!

Odyssey is not as fast as Brinks, but she's always good for it. She's a champ! I like seeing her stay active for an old dog.
