I'm in a snarky mood today, we had to put our chief cat to sleep on Sunday, it's cold outside and what I really want to do is kick someone until he's down and then kick him again.

Sorry to heat about your cat ,dear friend. I had one of those kind of nights last night when my 3 year Springer Spaniel- who thinks every small animal is a squirrel got blasted by a skunk at midnight when I let her out.I thus spent my night washing her outside in cold upstate NY to the wee hours of the morning .

I'm not hanging out on FR tonight for sure.

A suggestion:

Keep a gallon of distilled white vinegar and a large spray bottle on hand for the next time this emergency comes along.

Better for you, better for the dog. It’ll all be over in 10 minutes, and you can get your sleep.

I have a recipe for skunk shampoo that my sister used on her dog when he got nailed.

She said it was very effective, if you’re interested.
