Small Dog House
One day I came outside and found my spaniel "Daniel" sleeping outside on the ground and not in his small dog house. I got him the small cedar wood dog house about one month ago and he like it from the start. When I bought it I had it insulated and treated with special bug and parasite resistant sprays. Well there Dan was on the ground and I couldn't understand why he wasn't in his house until… I looked inside and jumped. A skunk had taken up residence in his house during the night. I guess the skunk had been attracted by the smell of Dan's dog food and then decided that his nice small dog house would make a great small skunk house. The thing that had me worried wa
s the skunk spraying inside of Dan's dog house. If a skunk has sprayed your dog, you can take the skunk scent off of him by bathing him in tomato juice. All you have to do is put your dog in a bath or basin filled with tomato juice. Then let the exterior coat soak in the tomato juice for several minutes, afterwards rinse him off and repeat the process. Of course your dog may require of several baths (sometimes several days too) before the smell completely disappears. But if the skunk lets loose inside the doghouse? How on earth do you get that infernal sickening sweet smell out of the wood and insulation of the dog house? I decided to try and lure the skunk out with some food but that didn't work. I took Daniel into the house and left the skunk alone in the hopes that it would decide to leave all by itself but again that also didn't work. In the end I had to call the wild animal service of my town and they came and dealt with the problem and Dan got his small dog house back.
