[nagdu] Skunk!

[Tami Jarvis]

Yikes, indeed! Since we came back to eastern Oregon, I have developed a 
chronic worry that my guide dog will be skunked when I need to use her 
to go somewhere. I always heard of the tomato juice treatment and that 
it didn't get the smell out without numerous treatments and a few days. 
Sounds like vinegar would be enough to be able to use the guide within a 
mile of people. /smile/ I'll remember that one! And hope I don't need 
it. /lol/

Glad you're still good to go, Tracy! Guess you don't need to be rural to 
get skunked.
