Billie, Wow ready a WHOLE WEEK AHEAD?????!!!!???
But why doesn't that surprise me?
I am sorry to hear about your baby getting into a tangle with the striped visitor *YET AGAIN.
I am not sure you remember my story about Oliver's first couple nights here & his finding a skunk & was all over the house, runs, bed, sofa before I realizied what was going on
Oliver = All-Over remember?
It was late at night & my chemist friend whom I called didn't have an antidote so I went on line & used /modified the formula I found.
1/2 c baking soda
1/2 vinegar
1 T strong dish wash soap (like Dawn)
water to thin
wet down
work this mixture in well
leave on a few minutes.
Put mixture on cloth for facial area
rinse.
Repeat if necessary
Could use a scented cream rinse the last time
I wont use tomato juice. I am with you.. super mess & hard to rinse out..(and expensive)
the professional mixutures for scent removal I have found are VERY expensive & don't work any better than this (maybe not as good)
That darn odor permeates everything within what "seems-like-miles"!
The formula you listed was similar to the one we have, though ours called for hydrogen peroxide instead of vinegar. (don't know why - vinegar seems to make more sense, and it wouldn't discolor the hair) However, after all the times we've had to de-oderize Roscoe, my bubble bath works as good as anything, even though he's a bit humiliated to have to end up smelling so sweet!
The main problem we've had with the encounters is that every time except the first time, it's been too cold to take care of him outside.
Well, it doesn't happen all that often, but a couple of weeks ago, a really nice essay greeted me in private email, and I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I get these unexpected treats. A little like getting John's Two Cents each week, only it's always so much fun to play with other backgrounds and stuff.
