You'd think I'd be done by now...

Well another year of VBS has come and gone. In all it went well, I was in charge of all the crafts this year. We canceled the t-shirts about a week before, and killed 2 other crafts before the week was out. We just ran out of time. But the crafts we did do were really neat. We made a sand castle tissue box (ok, not the cleanest craft, but lots of fun to make); sand candles; wiggly fish; doorknob message boards, coffee filter suncatchers; mobiles; and prayer pails. Considering I only had about 1/2 hour per group I think I got a LOT in.

But that's not the reason for this post... The reason is that you'd think that now that we nolonger have a dog that I would be done with dealing with dogs that have been skunked. Not a chance. You see after VBS tonight (hence the lead-in above) I called my friend who was going to have my oldest overnight to let them know we were finally on the way. Anyway she has her DD let the dog out and then we hear a cry and oh no and she tells me that dog's been skunked and so has her daughter! So I tell her that I'm on my way, don't bother with the store since that tomato juice thing doesn't work anyway and call another friend to see if she can come up with any good suggestions.

So I get there. The girl is in the shower getting the oils off, I give her some dish soap to use since it a great grease cutter and will work well to get the skunk oil off. I then help to calm down my friend and put the dog in the cage out back with instructions for her to take the dog to the groomers in the morning or to bath at home. Either way she needed to sleep and calm down.

I checked the dog and saw no marks those I'm sure she's not happy with the smell on her. The girl smells fine thankfully I think it was all transfer from the dog and not directly from the skunk. And I'm hoping my friend is fine and trying to sleep. I've found a recipe for removing the skunk smell so I think I might call or email it to her.

I tell ya, it's always something!
