This AM the grand dog conned me into taking her out at 4 AM. Big mistake! There was a skunk roaming in the backyard that neither of us saw (meaning the dog) until it was too late. The skunk didn't like the fact that we were there and let the world know it. Fortunately I knew something was up when the dog took off like a shot and was able to get her back before too much damage was done. But, she got enough spray that it smelled like hell. Now if you recall we had a little incident with a skunk a few months ago with the Nurse's car along Bates road, and still had a supply of "Skunk Off". After a liberal application it was time for bath. Being a good sized dog we thought a shower was the better option (besides we don't have tub on the first floor). Let's just say the dog wasn't interested in bathing at the early morning hour. After some effort we had a big ball of wet fur trying to shake in our bathroom. By 8 AM the only person asleep in the house was the dog. The Nurse and I were trying to get some residual skunk smell out. As of right now we're pretty much back to normal, but putting the short leash rule in effect for late night potty breaks.
Lots of golf to look forward to this week, along with the 4th's celebration.
