SKUNKED!
OMG- our stupid dumb face found a skunk last night and decided to try to eat it and in the process got sprayed right in his dumb face!!! this is the worst thing ever! Mr dumby saw something in the bushes behind the boathouse and dove in- i assumed it was a raccoon or cat, but then suddenly Ukiah came bursting out of the bushes TOTALLY FREAKING OUT and foaming at the mouth. he was rubbing his face on the concrete right as the smell hit me. oh my god the worst smell i have ever smelled in my life. a fresh, close-range skunk spray smells nothing like a dead skunk on the side of the road. it is a true toxic chemical horror that at the very beginning of the wiff doesn't actually smell that bad, but as the smell gets deeper into your nostrils it forms a confusing bouquet of horrific smells that invade your entire being. you start tasting it and feeling it in your eyes, then you feel it in your stomach and you want to vomit. of course at the same time i am freaking out about my dog freaking out so i rush him inside to wash his face which was the WORST THING I COULD HAVE DONE- now the smell is all over me and all over the house. I took him to the dog wash this morning and washed him three times and he still totally stinks, not to mention that my van now stinks too!!!
WORST THING EVER!!
(we will probably be holding on to these scents for awhile. like maybe even a couple months. i apologize in advance for my putrid odor)

What a nightmare!!!!!!!
Listen, conventional wisdom says TOMATO JUICE. You are supposed to completely soak your dude (and yourself, and any other skunked items) in tomato juice. There's some sort of Ph chemical reaction involved.
Go get those big economy-size jugs of generic tomato juice in the huge cans! Stick your dummy in a tub and soak him up and let it sit awhile, rinse, see if he's better.
this is literally the only remedy I've ever heard of.
terrible!!!!!!!! Thank you for the personal description of getting skunked, I've always wondered why/how the smell could be THAT BAD, but now I think I get it. Like being tear gassed!
But even without an operational snifter, I think I smelled this dog last night.
Also: I had planned a dinner party at the boathouse for tonight! But no way. Not with the skunky dude skunking it up. DInner party cancelled.
