What's That Smell?

You know February is mating month for skunks, right? We, as Gen X, were told this multiple times with Pepe LaPew after all. Valentine's Day was his day, but apparently, Teddy got his Valentine's early. 

Last night, Teddy Bear got his first spraying and our house is still recovering from it. He didn't get hit in the face, so at least he did try to dodge the spray. But, he was hit broadside which I think was even worse. I got him all rid of the smell last night, still have to work on towels and the shower though. 

The secret mixture? Hydrogen peroxide to loosen the spray oil from the fur. Step two, baking soda to absorb that oil. Step three, Dawn dish liquid to safely remove any residual from the oil, peroxide and baking soda. That's it. I finished it off with his lavender shampoo just so we could smell something better, but that's optional. Hope you don't need it!
