Skunked at 1 am!!!!!!!!!

His eyes still hurt. Poor puppy! This is just after his 2nd bath.

My pup is so pathetic! He wanted me to hold him, but I was trying to take the pictures, lol. Poor doggie.

My eyes are still puffy!!!

My sweet little Boston Terrier, Zito, is like my 3rd child, lol. He just turned one year old at the start of August. He loves when I baby him!!! I think that has led to him being so pathetic when he thinks he is in trouble, or has done something, etc. He scoots low to the ground and usually rolls over on his back and puts his paws in the air, he is not an alpha male! Tonight hubby and I were watching something on the Discovery Channel. Maybe it was the History Channel, I am not sure. I was dozing off and Zito kept wanting to go out back. It was getting to be an annoyance, either stay inside or stay outside. He is worse then the kids, lol. I should have realized he was up to something. At 1 am I opened the door and realized he was hurt. His eyes were closed tightly and he was pawing furiously at his face. SKUNKED!!!!!

I ran him to the shower. OMG, the smell was horrible. The skunk sprayed Zito's face and chest. It was DISGUSTING!!! After being washed (baking soda and dawn dish washing detergent) and rinsed off a few times, I got most of the smell off. Around his eyes smells horrible. I was careful of his eyes, but its just not taking the smell away. I tried baking soda and lemon juice. The smell is still there, but the baking soda and lemon juice had a fun reaction when mixed. (Totally off-topic) I can't wait to show Jack tomorrow when he wakes up. He wants to be an 'experiment man' when he grows up, lol. He will be VERY impressed with the bubbling action of the lemon juice and baking soda. Anyway........

My entire house smells horrible right now. We left the back windows and doors closed, but opened up everything else. My hubby set up fans, and has the air freshener going at all times, lol. Still, the smell lingers........its so gross. I can't sleep now! I am wide awake and 'enjoying' the discovery channel. I use that term loosely, lol. My hubby and the discovery channel!!

I hope the smell on Zito's face wears off soon, poor dog. Hopefully he will remember this and leave skunks alone. That is a long shot but you never know!

**Update** Zito's eyes aren't swollen anymore. He is feeling better but still smells like skunk. Luckily its not very strong. I wrapped him in an old towel and have been holding him. He loves the attention. Now off to bed. I hope I can sleep with the skunk smell, its not nice!
