So last night I fix myself some tasty snacks, go down in the basement to prepare for a night of gaming and watching the UFC fights (greatest card ever by the way), let the dog out in the back yard, sit down on the couch, turn the TV on, grab a chip, log into minecraft, and then my dog comes running back into the house like a bat out of hell!
My dog is going NUTS!!! Rubbing his head and face all over everything in the basement...the couch, the carpet, the chair...I call him over to me to see what the hell is wrong and am overcome by the worse smell ever. It was like a someone mixed some chemical smell with god awful burnt rubber. My dog starts rubbing his face all over me and my clothes clearly trying to get rid of something he ate or got into outside. I finally look at his face and he is just soak with what I would describe as a yellowish brown liquid covering that had been sprayed on him. At first I thought it was some chemical spray can that exploded in his face (he will chew anything!). I take a towel and start clearing his face and the yellowish substance is just soaking the towel. My dog is still going nuts just foaming at the mouth and it is all I can do to not throw up. So I rush outside to see if I can find a can or what ever he got into...then while outside I recognized the smell in the air.
It was a SKUNK! The smell in the open air is quit different than up close and personal. In the open air it stinks but you just kind of turn your nose to it. When it is all over your dog, you and now your entire basement floor, couch and chair...well it is just not the same. It is far worse and almost has an industrial chemical smell for crowd control!
So I take my dog up stairs to give him a quick shower and pour tomato juice all over him (that helps neutralize some of the scent). Of course the damn dog tries to rub his face clean on everything and anything along the way. I get done giving him a bath and then start in on the clean up in the house. God was it putrid!
My wife come home about this time and the first thing she says is "Did you cook something?". Really woman! I've burnt the hell out of some food and fuck up a lot of recipes in my life, but never, ever have I cooked anything that even came that close in smell!
I told her what happened she almost laughs but can't quite bring herself to do so. She said she smelled a skunk outside when she pulled up but inside it smell like burnt rubber.
By this time everything has been clean to the best of my ability. But my house simply stinks! The basement is the worse. Their is no way I can game down their so I just watch the UFC fight all the way up on the second floor. It still stinks up there but not as bad. So I decide to rub some scented essential oils under my noise to help combat the smell....I use peppermint. It works to some degree.
So now it is the next day...and I still can't go down in the basement, it is that bad. The rest of the house stinks but not as bad as the basement. I am pretty sure I am going to have to replace the carpet and furniture. I have read it is almost impossible to get skunk oil out of fabric. I have a chance to keep the carpet as I can aggressively clean it. But the furniture...its fuck!
Just thought you'd all like to enjoy in my pain. Good day!
