When previously looking up skunk spray removal remedies, I came across a saying. With regard to skunks, "there are two types of dogs: those that learn the first time, and those that never learn." Unfortunately for us, dear Sammy is a never-learner. The other night (on his evening walk with Matt) was his 3rd (or 4th?) encounter - a direct hit - leading to a hurried peroxide/dish soap/baking soda bath at 10 pm, a night sleeping in the garage (Sammy - not Matt), and then a full bath the next day. What's not to learn?
Our sunny weather had departed before that - and we are very glad for the rain. What we are not glad for is a constantly damp, mildly skunk-smelling dog wanting to roll on the carpet!
I've planted cover crops in the empty rows, and am planning on prepping more (especially since the seeds have finally started germinating. The flocks of migrating birds we see every morning are a joy, except when you suspect they are stealing all the seeds!) But the weather is not cooperating... and to be honest, I'm not complaining. I'll post some outside pictures when the weather clears a bit.
Hope everyone is all prepared for Christmas!
