skunk and dog

Uh-oh! Molly came in this evening smelling decidedly of skunk. After supper, I let her off her leash and she stayed by me most of the time that I was finishing up the re-potting of tender plants off the deck -- or so I thought.

So. De-skunking the dog solutions? I'll let you know if it works.

Why is it always Molly who seems to get into trouble? Is it because Molly is very sweet, very stubborn and not very bright? Or is it because she is only 1 year old (seven in doggie years)?

It was very nearly Porcupine Episode #7 on Saturday evening. On my walk around the meadows, Molly rousted a porcupine. If she had been quieter (huff, snort, huff, snort) and faster, no doubt the porcupine would have lost the race to the big old maple and I would have been able to add to my collection of quills a la Molly...thank goodness she was a little slow this time!
