2 weeks before school starts most families go school shopping. Sports have started so kids are going in and out all day and life begins to get a little more chaotic. At our house life shifted in twilight zone. It all started at 3a.m. on Wed. Mali one of our dogs woke Klint up to be let out nothing new. maggies in heat and is an escape artist so we have had to put her on a chain to keep her from running away. Klint decided he would just let her loose and he would stay out and keep an eye on her. All was normal until Mali darted for a corner of the yard taking Maggie and Ted (the blind one) with. Within seconds Klint was yelling and throwing rocks. Only to have the damage done. A dreadful heinous skunk had already sprayed not once but we believe twice. I awoke to the dogs barking and went to let them in thinkin that Klint was in the bathroom. I quickly opened the door and in ran the dogs. Maggies Mali and Ted. They all quickly ran to there favorite spot our bed and Kadens bed and tried to rub off the skunk. In a dazed and confused sleep stupor I quickly realized I wasn't getting any more sleep. Kaden ran out drove to the school to sleep. Kyra went downstairs which didn't last long for the smell soon found her. It was awful. Upon my first exams of the 3 I could see the greenish yellow oil left behind. It was so strong that even my sense of smell and taste were off for days.
WE spent hours cleaning the dogs and getting the bedding off the beds and trying to fingd the strong spots in the house. Klint left for work kidds went to sports and everywhere we went so did the smell. Aughhhh!!!! talk anout sad! I got a hotel for 2 night so we could breath. Klint brought home a large fan so we could air out the house. The carpets were cleaned the walls were cleaned the wood floor cleaned the beds steamed the bedding washed all in all a real good scrub down. Klint also changed the airfilter. It took days to get out of the house and many candles. Funny when we got to the hotel clothes that were in our drawers smelled my make-up bag smelled it was everywhere. Neighbors and family said they had never smelled it soo strong. So today the dogs smell a bit. Mali who took the most spray got a burn from the oil. I am hoping for a new purse and a new make-up bag. Had to throw out my bedspread and some old blankets and 2 sleeping bags. Kyras coach gave her a socce rshirt to put on over hers because she smelled so bad. Kaden went to 5 min of weights the first day because he smelled. Klint stunk to all high heck at work. I had to have Amber do some shopping for me. ALl in all it was the worst 3 days ever I cried a lot thought of gettin grid of all the dogs except Topanga since she was smart enough to stay away. Dogs I just don't know if they're worth it. Maybe ask me in a month.
