n-judah love song

necessity is the mother

So a few weeks ago, when the neighbor dog got sprayed by a skunk, I said out loud “well, our dogs ate everything, but at least they missed THAT.”

And oh, how the universe LOL’ed.

Stella wakes up early, and the good part about having a backyard is I can let her out and go back to bed. This morning, around 5, she came back in from sniffing things and my eyes started to sting. I buried my head in the pillows and tried to convince myself I was having a particularly lucid dream.

I have no idea what to do with a dog who smells of skunk at 5am. I washed her as best I could with dish soap.

When I woke up a little more, I scoured the internet for ideas. I had none of the ingredients listed here – peroxide or tomato juice or lemon juice or whathaveyou. I did, however, have Febreze.

Yeah, I used a half a bottle of Febreze to soap up the damn skunky dog. Do you have a better idea?

The weather forecast for SF is rain for at least the next 10 days. I went to investigate the Flickr clusters for Hawaii for a little sunshine and inspiration.
