Beatrice got skunked
Beatrice got skunked this morning.
I let the dog out this morning, as I always do when I wake up. I took a shower and got dressed. I sat down at the computer to check my e-mail. The computer crashed. It's been fucked up lately. I think it's the graphics card, now. Thought it was the hard drive or the CPU overheating. Anyhow, the computer crashed and I sat there for a second thinking about what do to about the situation when I smelled skunk. It came out of nowhere and was really powerful. I ran to the back door and opened it up. She came running in at top speed and slammed her face into the carpet. The smell was unlike any amount of skunk I'd smelled before. It was overpowering and foul. Extremely sulfuric and pungent. The dog ran out of the back room and upstairs. I went to yell up to Kim who was asleep, but by the time I opened my mouth the dog had gotten upstairs and Kim screamed. She grabbed the dog by the collar and dragged her downstairs and then I took over and threw her into the bathroom. We contemplated what to do. We stripped down to our skivvies and started giving the dog a bath. First we washed her with her regular dog shampoo, which didn't do anything. Then we dumped half a bottle of mouthwash on her. That didn't help. Then I went the to fridge and got a beer and poured that on her. That didn't help. She smelled like skunk, beer and mouthwash. We shoved her outside and wondered what to do next. I had to get to work so I got out a new set of clothes, got dressed and went to work. I still have skunk smell on me. My co-workers are disturbed.
I got to work and told the story about to my boss, who was concerned that my skunk odor my stink out the entire office. Kim called as I was walking to my desk and said that she was at the Golden Basket, the restaurant we always visit for breakfast on Sunday mornings. She said she couldn't stand to stay in the house any longer because it was making her sick. The waitress tolde her that she smalled bad. When she got to work her supervisor happened to stop by to help with some inventory stuff. She told Kim to go home because she smelled so bad it would scare customers away. She made an appointment for Beatrice to get a emergency skunk treatment at 3:00pm today with a local Pet grooming facility. She also bought a bunch of skunk smell odor eliminator and has been trying to clean up the smell in the house. It's unknown whether or not its working as expected because she said her nose has been so overwhelmed that she can't smell anything right now.
