Hi, elizabeth! You definitely have my sympathy! I had a yard full of baby
skunks a couple of months ago. Fortunately, I was never close enough to
them to get zapped, although thanks to warnings from some kind neighbors, I
narrowly avoided a couple of potentially disastrous situations! <LOL>
everyone said that they were awfully cute, but they certainly could not keep
their cute little selves in my yard! <Smile> I have a friend who has a
little Peekapoo, and she would chase after the mother skunk before the
babies were born (I didn't know she was making her home under my porch), but
again, all serious mishaps were avoided. <smile> Anyway, I certainly wish
you and your baby the best with all the clean-up! Try to stay cool!

All of you dog folks on this list can sympathize. My guide Burton the Black lab got zapped by a skunk in our back yard about three this morning. My friend and I are going to wash him off with the vet's recommentation It is a quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide a quarter cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of liquid soap. You put it on the dog and let it dry. Then you rinse it off.
Wish me luck. I have good friends and so does Burton to do such a thing. By the way it is about ninety out right now.
