Well, I've learned two things today.

Last night I bathed Twisted Sister in the hydrogen peroxide/baking soda/dishwater detergent mix. But I should have finished off with a rinse in vinegar .. thanks Donna. (By the way, the dog is named Lollipup, but when bad, her name changes to Twisted Sister).

And secondly, I tried washing the skunky towels today in the washing machine with detergent and bleach. I guess the skunk spray must have amonia in it. Combined with the bleach, the towels came out smelling even skunkier. I washed them again with detergent, baking soda and vinegar. Aaaah, much better.

Oh yes, and I've learned that drinking the Bloody Ceasar mix with vodka would have been much more beneficial at 2 AM than washing the dog in it.

F16, as part of her courtship ritual, I will personally see to it that Lolli teaches Teddy how to chase skunks and roll in evil smelling residue.
